The proposed canonization of this leader, a Catholic convert, is the subject of a yearly mass held at a shrine named for 32 martyrs burned alive in the 1880s. (10[1])Issa Shivji identified a “silent class struggle” during a period in which this leader declared “We must run while others walk” and nationalized half of the world’s most productive sisal (“SYE-sul”) industry. This ethnic Zanaki was succeeded as the head of a “one-party democracy” by a president nicknamed “Mr. (10[1])Permission” for his policy reversals, (10[1])Ali Hassan Mwinyi. (10[1])James C. Scott linked the Derg’s “geometric” (10[1])land reform to this (10[1])leader’s Operation Vijiji, which resettled millions of peasants through “villagization.” (10[3])“Familyhood” (10[2])and “cooperative (10[1])economics” (10[1]-5[1])are translations (10[2])of this TANU leader’s socialist philosophy (10[1])of ujamaa.
