Book Reviews of Tanzania: The Land and Its People
Book Review: Not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I give the book 4 stars because it is very inexpensive and probably adequate for most travelers. The book is also written by a native Tanzanian, which is nice. They edited and published it cheap though. You'll notice different fonts on different pages and some poor grammar and spelling in a few spots. Those are just aesthetic problems though.
The content of the book provides an adequate overview of Tanzania. It is a good way of learning some basics about the country if you are traveling there. Don't expect a ton of depth though. It is a short book, so many things are covered somewhat superficially. I was traveling to Tanzania to do counseling and wanted a book to help me understand the culture. It was not sufficient for my purposes, but is probably more than adequate for the average traveler. I definitely learned some things. I paired this book with a language course, the Lonely Traveler phrase book, and another book about AIDS in Northern Tanzania. Together, they told me enough about the culture and customs to get by without violating any major taboos.
Summary of Tanzania: The Land and Its People
This is a general study of Tanzania, the land and its people and history, and a look at contemporary life in the largest country in East Africa and one of the largest on the continent. It is also a general survery of the country's natural resources, crops and minerals, and economic potential. The book also includes some details on the East African Community and the proposed East Africa federation of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania which is supposed to be formed in 2013. Includes maps and photos.Tanzania Books
