His smooth style engages the reader with absorbing true tales, cultural currents, critical commentary and progressive possibilities. By vibrantly contrasting the hope-filled sixties with the cynical modern era, he also lays bare the paradoxes of personal life and society, past and present.TanzaniaElectronic books.967.8Karim F Hirji1052797MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459905303321Growing up with Tanzania2484267UNINA
