Publisher's Synopsis
Brunei and Tanzania - two countries in stark contrast. One oil-rich, with a tiny population and an extremely high standard of living; the other aid-dependent and desperately poor. Paul Woods describes his experience of teaching English and training teachers in the 1970's, moving from an expatriate life-style revolving around barbecues and banquets in Brunei, where colonial dependency was gradually giving way to Islamic fundamentalism, to a daily struggle for survival implementing Education for Self-Reliance in Nyerere's Tanzania, first at a militarised college in Tabora and later on running projects to rear pigs, breed rabbits and show James Bond films in Tukuyu.
