“… Kimambo’s account of the Pare district is well researched, coherent and readable.”
-- Thomas Deve, Journal of Social Development in Africa
“Kimambo’s account makes fascinating reading and should be required for anyone seeking to understand the colonial development of east Africa and the ways that this region is still a prisoner of its colonial past.”
-- T.O. Beidelman, Anthropos
“[Penetration and Protest in Tanzania] is a conscientiously written and highly readable book about the Pare mountains, which have received far less attention than other highland areas in Tanzania such as Kilimanjaro or the Usambaras.”
-- Jan Kees Van Donge, The Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics
