Examines the impact of liberalizing trade in staple food commodities. The author shows the way grain traders and households in five Tanzanian towns were affected by the Tanzanian government's decision to opt for liberalization in the trade of two staple food crops: rice and maize.
This is the sort of informed and well-grounded study that makes an important contribution to what has happened in Africa and why. In doing so it provides an antidote to the portrayals of Tanzanian socialism and capitalism -- Joel Samoff * INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORICAL STUDIES *
This is an important book in the documenting of recent Tanzanian history. * DEVELOPMENT POLICY REVIEW *
