This self-study guide is intended to provide users with a working knowledge of the nations and peoples of East Africa - Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Separate chapters address topics of historical to contemporary interest. Each chapter of the study guide begins with a general overview followed by issues to ponder. Thereafter the user is directed to a series of readings that elaborate on the theme presented. A listing of web sites is also provided. Obviously, the user who follows through on the readings or who even expands his study beyond the specific recommendations will benefit most from the exercise. Self-study involves a bit of legwork. Readings have been chosen from books and articles that are available in the NFATC and Main State libraries, but books may also be obtained from good universities or even public libraries. Finally, on-line bookstores carry the essential texts. Although this East African guide covers all three countries, there is an obvious breakout of topics that pertain more specifically to each nation. These will be identified as one progresses.
