Prof. Dr. Jan Blommaert - Ujamaa and Swahili literature in Tanzania.
Tanzania has long been considered to be a model of language planning in a postcolonial third world society. One of the most visible results of independence, be it in the symbolic domain, was the introduction of Swahili as the (only) national language after independence, to be used in virtually all domains of public life. Another very visible aspect of independence, this time in a somewhat `harder' domain, was the gradual development of an innovative socialist state ideology, formalized in the 1967 Arusha Declaration and called Ujamaa (or Ujamaa na Kujitegemea: socialism and self-reliance) (cf. Pratt 1976). [eng] |
