Writing the History of Neoliberalism
This series of comments brings together four historians of neoliberalism, each of whom focuses on a different part of the world but whose work has implications that are transnational if not global. Quinn Slobodian reconstructs the rise of the category of neoliberalism among historians and identifies the different paths of inquiry it is generating. Priya Lal, offering an Africanist’s perspective, moves beyond the reduction of the neoliberal narrat…

Paul Bjerk. Building a Peaceful Nation
Paul Bjerk’s Building a Peaceful Nation: Julius Nyerere and the Establishment of Sovereignty in Tanzania, 1960–1964 offers an illuminating contribution to the historiography of decolonization and postcolonial state formation—one that adds empirical depth and, to some extent, conceptual breadth to this growing body of scholarship. Bjerk’s monograph aims to tell the story of the early years of Tanzania’s existence from an Africanist’s perspective, …
African Socialism in Postcolonial Tanzania
Drawing on a wide range of oral and written sources, this book tells the story of Tanzania's socialist experiment: the ujamaa villagization initiative of 1967–1975. Inaugurated shortly after independence, ujamaa ('familyhood' in Swahili) both invoked established socialist themes and departed from the existing global repertoire of development policy, seeking to reorganize the Tanzanian countryside into communal villages to achieve national develop…
Remembering and Reviving Student Activism in Tanzania
Self-Reliance and the State
This article uses a key principle of the Tanzanianujamaaproject - self-reliance - as an analytical lever to open up the historical landscape of development politics in that national context during the 1960s and early 1970s. Throughout this period Tanzanians understood and experienced self-reliance in a variety of ways: as a mandated developmental strategy or a collective developmental aspiration, a condition of dignity or privation, a hallmark of…
Militants, Mothers, and the National Family
Between 1964 and 1975, development politics in Tanzania came to be organized around a version of ujamaa that normalized distinct gender roles and celebrated a generic ideal of the nuclear family. Yet as ujamaa villagization unfolded on the ground in the south-eastern region of Mtwara, rural people's practices rarely conformed to the ideas about gender and family implicit in official discourse and policy. Just as the institution of the family on t…
