TANU Yajenga Nchi: Political Development in Rural Tanzania

Göran S. Hydén

3/5 ( ratings)

This is a study of the relationship between rural inhabitants in a selected part of Tanzania--Buhaya--and the centre of the political system in which they are members. It is an investigation of how the system is performing in its attempts to solve the problems emerging in this type of societal environment. As the title of the book TANU Yajenga Nchi--TANU builds the country--indicates, it is particularly focused on the role of the Tanganyika African National Union, the only lawful party in Tanzania, in the process of national development. The instrument which has been used to measure the performance of the system is a systematic interview survey.

This study aims at shedding some light on the political culture of a new African nation. It is not, like most other studies on Africa by political scientists, focused on the elite level. The attempt is to introduce the common man, and what he believes, as valuable objects of political science research in Africa. In order to understand his situation after independence, an account of the developments during the pre-colonial and the colonial eras have been included.
