Viac o knihe
The reliability of electricity in Dar es Salaam has diminished over two decades of neoliberal reform, despite the city's growing dependence on it for modern conveniences. The socialist-era utility, Tanesco, struggles with outdated infrastructure and high costs, prompting residents to seek off-grid solutions or modify the existing state network. Michael Degani examines how these dynamics shape urban life and the social contract with the state, highlighting the interplay between politics, infrastructure, and community resilience in the face of systemic challenges.
