<br/><br/> This paper explores the link between nationalism, development, and national consciousness. In Tanzania, post-independence nation-building resulted in the establishment of a national consciousness sufficiently versatile to balance and contain most of the competing ideas about what it means to be part of the Tanzanian nation. By providing insight into how this has variably been related to a discourse on development and the responsibilities of the Tanzanian citizen, the paper argues for a convivial reading of national consciousness that recognizes that nationalism remains a process of collective bargaining, with official versions constantly challenged, re-formulated, and re-emerging in new forms.
