Praise for Nyerere Biography
We must thank the authors of this biography because by telling the story of Mwalimu they help to give a concrete account of that common thread in his thinking which informed his actions as a liberation fighter, a statesperson and a pan-Africanist. Thus will we have what will serve as an invaluable manual for the activists for the renaissance of Africa.
–Thabo Mbeki
The most comprehensive and in-depth look at every aspect of the life of the man who became one of the greatest leaders and philosophers of the African Liberation, universally acclaimed as the Mwalimu of Africa.
–Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
More than just a biography, this work promises to give the reader a multifaceted introduction to the history of the country and the region, the dynamics and challenges of the anti-colonial struggle, as well as a nuanced understanding of the theory of human and social emancipation in an important part of the post-colonial world.
–Mahmood Mamdani
This book merits praise and wide readership. It is no doubt a significant intellectual contribution to the African library on nation-building and progressive thought in post-colonial Africa.
—Thandika Mkandawire
A fascinating read, the biography provides a complex analysis of Mwalimu Nyerere: the philosopher, statesman, politician, writer, teacher, husband and father. The work explores the controversies surrounding Mwalimu’s public and personal life in a critical and sensitive way, drawing on a wealth of information from a variety of sources, including interviews, public archives and personal documents to provide gems, rare insights on contentious moments and events.
–Marjorie Mbilinyi
At last we have a definitive biography of Julius Kambarage Nyerere, one of the major political actors on the African stage for a whole generation. … This is compulsory reading for anyone interested in Nyerere, Tanzania and Africa.
–Jenerali Ulimwengu
Spectacular book!
Scholar, teacher, poet, philosopher, politician, nationalist, socialist, democrat, autocrat, visionary, icon and iconoclast, Julius “Mwalimu” Nyerere left such a colossal footprint on modern African and global history that a biography that does justice to such an enigmatic and complex figure seemed unimaginable. Until now.
–Robin D. G. Kelley

Toxic Aid
Sebastian Edwards
Oxford
Brilliant analysis from one of our leading thinkers on economic development. Edwards places the experience of Tanzania in the broader and continuing debate about the effectiveness of foreign aid. His sober and thorough dissection of the historical record leads to a powerful conclusion: the international assistance provided from 1961 to 1981 proved highly toxic, but outside support subsequently became more constructive. This controversial volume will become a must read for anyone concerned with prosperity and stability around the world. (Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and author of the best-seller 13 Bankers)
