This book is about Tanzania and its development prospects. Within ten short chapters, each with well-chosen sub-titles, the text covers a wide range of subjects. Each subject highlights a specific theme or themes that are of topical interest in the current development debate. Under each theme the author, without trying to delve deeply into the subject, raises a number of pertinent questions, enough to whet the readers appetite and to cause him to think twice about the contemporary debate. From the outset, the author dismisses offhand the idea that Tanzania is intrinsically poor: he emphasizes that Tanzania is richly endowed with natural resources of all kinds, and lays the blame for the countrys underdevelopment squarely on the failure of its people to mobilize their resources, which he attributes largely to lack of education, poor leadership, and widespread corruption. Tanzania: My Country As I See It is a simple easy-to-read text. But there is no mistaking the weight of the issues raised, and the challenges they pose.

A Mozambican who has hope in the possibility of the progress of his country and Africa, in “Dreams for my Country”, Pedro Vilanculo unapologetically unveils the nature and origins of the challenges of his country and proposes a new mindset and a new deal for Mozambique and by extension for Africa towards building a better and shared future for all and for the generations to come. Dreams for my Country is a conduit for the educated Mozambicans and Africans, the like of those the author has interacted with in Africa, North America and Europe who are hungry for change in their countries and for the continent. It is a book that the leadership of the Western World and Asia and their think tanks, diplomats, strategists and policy makers can’t ignore, if they want to understand the mindset and priorities of the African leaders of tomorrow and the new rules of engagement. Contrary to the common approaches, Dreams for my Country calls Mozambicans and Africans to take full responsibility for our failures and sees developing confidence in ourselves, a mindset shift and coming about with a clear and definite long-term agenda as a solution that will bring change and prosperity. Pedro Vilanculo was born and raised in the small Mozambican town of Vilankulo, a territory named after his ancestors. Despite his unfavorable origins he grew up believing in a future that could be better- and today he expands his hope for a Mozambique and Africa that will prosper and deliver for the people.
