Description: "For a long time, Tanzania under its charismatic President Nyerere was considered to be a model. The concept of an African form of socialism and also the cooperation between church and state seemed to be exemplary. But in the early 1990s, in a time of political re-orientation, conflicts began to emerge."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume examines the different periods in the relationship between church and state from independence to 1994."--Jacket.
