The present volume contains the papers presented at a
symposium held in June 1994 which examined the challenges
which rural Tanzania faced in the early 1990s. The symposium
was held unter the auspices of the Special Research
Programme “Identity in Africa” of the University of
Bayreuth. The contributors included academicians as well as
development practitioners who came from different
disciplines – agriculture, law, geography, and political
science. They examined problems arising from structural
adjustment, changing attitudes to land, and from the
deteriorating situation of the pastorialists and
agropastoralists. The papers presented in this volume thus
constitute a contribution to the current debate about the
future of rural Tanzania in which economic, social, ethnic,
political, and legal themes are intricately interwined.
