Editorial Reviews

**** The first edition is endorsed by BCL3. The first edition (1982) sought to illuminate whether Tanzania was a model of successful modernization or a case study in development failure. In this revised edition, Yeager (political science and African history, West Virginia U.) reconsiders the "experiment," now moving into a new and, in some ways, radically different phase.
