The Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar which led to the establishment of Tanzania as a united republic was consummated at the height of the Cold War. After the Zanzibar revolution in January 1964, there were fears in the West that Zanzibar would become "another Cuba." And Western powers were determined to prevent that from happening. They felt that the revolution was communist-inspired and feared that if the leaders of Zanzibar consolidated their position, they would pose a threat to Western interests in the region because of their friendly ties to the Communist bloc. Americans and other Westerners also feared that if a communist regime stayed in power, it would pose an even bigger threat to Western geopolitical interests on the continent because the island nation would serve as a springboard or launching pad for communist penetration of Africa. It was during this period of bitter rivalry between the United States and the Communist bloc that the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar was formed. Was the United States - and Britain - behind the merger to contain Zanzibar and prevent it from becoming "another Cuba"? Was the union formed by the leaders of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, especially Julius Nyerere, on their own initiative in pursuit of African unity? Or did the interests of Western powers coincide with those of Nyerere and other leaders in Tanganyika and Zanzibar, creating favourable conditions for consummation of the union, thus satisfying all the parties involved? And would it have been formed had the Zanzibar revolution not taken place? Or would the two countries have united, anyway, even if no radical changes had occurred in the island nation as Nyerere and others contended? Those are some of the issues addressed in this book which also raises new questions about the union, the only one ever formed on the continent between independent states.

The Pan-Africanist debate is back on the historical agenda. The stresses and strains in the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar since its formation some forty years ago are not showing any sign of abating. Meanwhile, imperialism under new forms and labels continues to bedevil the continent in ever-aggressive, if subtle, ways. The political federation of East Africa, which was one of the main spin-offs of the Pan-Africanism of the nationalist period, is reappearing on the political stage, albeit in a distorted form of regional integration. It is in this context that the present study is situated. Backgrounding the major dramas of the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar this book studies the personalities involved and their politics, and includes an account of the Dodoma CCM conference that toppled President Jumbe. It is also a detailed legal analysis of the union incorporating powerful new material.

Issa Shivji's book, first published in 1990 provided the first detailed analysis of the fundamental legal foundations of the union in 1964 between Tanganyika and Zanzibar which led to the birth of the United Republic of Tanzania. Used by students of law, politics and the Tanzania union as a basic reference work the book is a product of wide ranging scholarship and close analysis of legal texts that constitute the primary sources of the Union-and the author's long engagement with the morality of constitutional politics that bear on Zanzibar's status in the Union. Out of print for over a decade this second expanded edition includes a few minor revisions, comments and references have been put in square brackets to distinguish them from the original text.
