SUMMARY:African Intellectuals, Nationalism and the Generation Gap
DESCRIPTION:
 \n
 	In 1985, the University of Dar es Salaam instituted 
 a ten-year hiring freeze in conjunction 
 with the conditions of the World Bank structural 
 adjustment programs adopted by the Tanzanian 
 government. This policy, which coincided 
 directly with Tanzania's change from African 
 socialism to a more free market economic 
 and political approach, has led to a generational 
 gap between scholars who came into the University 
 in the earlier years and newer scholars 
 who were recruited, trained, and employed 
 after the hiring freeze ended. This presentation 
 will contrast and compare the experiences 
 of these generations of Tanzanian scholars 
 with an eye towards understanding the unique 
 challenges faced by the newest generation who 
 find themselves caught between the remnants 
 of a post-colonial socialist intellectual tradition 
 and an increasingly globalized academy.\n
