Villagization entails:
Communal farming
Community engagement in civil
service
The spread of the practices of
production
The modernization of the technical
skills of development
Others:
nationalization of private business
and housing
provision of public services, notably in
health care and education
an Ujamaa village
as a developmental policy

economic policies undeniably failed
BUT other policies succeeded

Imaginaries of the nation, of
