Abstract
It is now forty years after the start of African Socialism, or Ujamaa, in Tanzania. This
study examines to what extent Tanzanians still tell their national history in ways which
feature the important themes of social change that were introduced by President Julius
Nyerere and his political party after independence: increasing equality, popular
participation, egalitarian values and self-reliant economic development
