Africa: NATION BUILDING AND ETHNO-RACIAL TOLERANCE
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ATTITUDE OF TANZANIAN AND ZAMBIAN STUDENTS TO THEIR COMPATRIOTS OF EUROPEAN AND SOUTH ASIAN ORIGIN Tanzania Keywords:, Zambia, tolerance, nation, students, diaspora Unlike Tanzania, Zambia, like most post-colonial African States, does not have an "objective" - at least partially pre-colonial-basis of national unity. None of the local cultures is able to play this role; the integration of the very different peoples of modern Zambia, often previously unconnected (or loosely connected, or in conflict), began only during the colonial period and thanks to colonialism.
