Editorial Policy
  UTAFITl is a joumal of the Faculty Arts and Social Sciencea of the Univel'llityof Dar
  es Salaam, devoted to articles and research information on Tanzania and East Africa
 primarily, and on developments in The Third World and e1sewhere in general.
 Our subject is to explain what takes place in our environment, why and how, the
 achievements and problems in various development efforts, and research insights into
 possible problem-solving alternatives.
 UTAFm cuts across disciplinary boundaries and we would rather not be bound by the
 narrow confmes of disciplines. We thus have had articles on themes and topics in
 geography, history, economics, technology, education, development planning, social
 administration, literature, statistics, and law, to mention only a few. People of different
 ideological stand-points have had occasion to argue out their positions and esses, and we
 do welcome such healthy debates. Naturally, the journal has tended to Jean towards the
 socialist line of approach, but even within that approach, there is no monolithic control
 of ideas and interpretations.
