Summary
By the mid-1970s, much of the wind had gone out of the sails of Tanzania’s socialist project. Economic crisis, political authoritarianism, and the collapse of the Portuguese empire meant that Dar es Salaam ceased to be a major centre of anticolonial revolution in Africa. This concluding chapter briefly traces this demise and then sets out the book’s major findings and their implications. It finishes with a short reflection on the legacy of Dar es Salaam’s revolutionary past for Tanzania today.
