Novel by S. Ndunguru. Gaidon Lilimba is the head of a'development village'. He is visionary, charismatic, incorruptible and courageous. He leads his people from poverty to prosperity during the times of'villagization'in Tanzania, a programme introduced in the late 1960s as a development strategy, and which entailed the resettlement of some 75% of the population into villages. This story imaginatively and critically addresses the politics of villagization, considering its successes and failures. 14,95$ / 10,95£ format : 216 x 140 mm
