Julius Kambarage Nyerere, African philosopher, anti-colonial leader, first president of the United
Republic of Tanzania, and respected international statesman, served as president of the newly
independent Tanzania from 1964 through 1985., after which he remained politically active in
Tanzania and on the global stage. Trying to steer a post-colonial course of self-reliance, he
developed and implemented African Socialism in Tanzania, articulated in the Arusha Declaration
in 1967. As an anti-colonial leader, Nyerere referred to international human rights standards such
as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and maintained a commitment to human rights as
president and afterwards. In this essay we look at Nyerere’s program of African Socialism, and
his understanding of the interrelated concepts of socialism, human rights, and equality. We close
with a discussion of Nyerere’s controversial human rights violations as president, and a reflection
on his legacy. |
