2005 is the International Year for Sports and Physical Education (UN's Resolution A/Res/58/5). How can sporting becomes a stimulus to personal and societal development? I have written this book specifically to encourage the sports and cultural development in my home country Tanzania. In the sporting world one is never late in taking essential measures - neither do we! If we expect any better outcomes in the future, then we need to start investing today in a broad expanse (schools, children & youths). Let's alter our attitudes and that will amplify the chances of success in ten, fifty or hundred years. Apart from this book, four articles written in Kiswahili, the Tanzania's national language have been published in Tanzania by one of the most respected Newspapers, NIPASHE. The articles are purposely included in this book so as to make a short version in Swahili. Good luck and enjoy your reading! ... Read more

Product Description
Focusing on the growing transnational community of Ismailis (Muslim Shi'a followers of the Aga Khan), this study analyzes the transnational and cultural characteristics of the Ismaili social service network in the context of state/society relations. There are approximately 20 million Ismailis worldwide in over 20 countries throughout the world, and they have developed--under the auspices of the Aga Khan--a sophisticated private sector nonprofit social service network of hospitals and schools that serves the health care and education needs of Ismailis and non-Ismailis. Based on research and interviews conducted in Europe and Africa from 1992-1995, this study shows how a strong civil society can contribute significantly to the social service goals of developing nations. It also provides information on the Ismailis of Tanzania which has not previously been available in the West, and so will be of interest to scholars in comparative politics, religious studies, development theory, and African Studies. ...

Product Description
The common charge laid against missionaries that they are destroyers ofAfrican culture is shown to be untrue of the missionaries treated in thisbook, who worked with considerable success to integrate Christianity andAfrican culture.The author examines the endeavours of the missionaries from the perspectiveof the local Christians, who were not themselves interested in Africanizationas such. One can thus find some missionaries defending - against the electedAfrican Church leadership - the right of the Chagga Christians to circumcisetheir daughters, and Nyakyusa Christians refusing to use African tunes becausethe missionaries - influenced by National Socialism - professed both love forAfrican culture and White superiority.This informative book, based on local and archival research at DaressalamUniversity, is eminently readable. It features the first historical studyof Bruno Gutmann, and provides case study material for teaching. ... Read more
