The death in 1999 of Julius Nyerere, Tanzanias first president, left a cavern in the consciousness and conscience of the people of Tanzania and Africa. Nyerere was a Pan-Africanist and internationalist and a giant of the liberation movement. This book includes contributions from leading commentators, those who fought imperialism alongside Nyerere, members of a younger generation, and Nyerere himself. Their writings reflect on Nyerere and liberation, the Commonwealth, leadership, economic development, land, human rights, and education. Above all, they are a testament to the need to rekindle the fires of African liberation to which Nyerere was deeply committed.
