Mwalimu: The Legacy of Julius Kambarage Nyerere

Lovingly dubbed Mwalimu (Teacher) in his homeland, Julius Kambarage Nyerere is equally fondly remembered as “The Father of the Nation”. The architect of Tanzania’s independence in 1961, and later that of the island Dar-es-Salaam, Nyerere was a leader of pan-African vision. This account of the life of a wise politician and profound thinker is notable for historical footage and articulate assessments of Mwalimu’s legacy from a wide range of publishers, journalists, academics and politicians.
