Description: "A collection of writings by various writers produced over the last fifty years on a serious social and political fault line in Tanzania. The rising incidents of violence, meted out with the highest impunity by state organs, span ... the four administrations of Tanzania from independence in 1961 to the current one. ... This book aims to emphasise that it is absolutely essential for democracy and the rule of law that citizens be allowed to carry out their duties and exercise their right to free speech and assembly safely and without fear."--Back cover.
