Tanja R. Müller is senior lecturer in international development at the Institute for Development Policy and Management and founding member and director of research at the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute, both at the University of Manchester.

Müller’s insightful study, Legacies of Socialist Solidarity: East Germany in Mozambique, is the first to examine the reintegration of nearly a thousand Mozambican adolescents, students at the SdF between 1982 and 1988. . . .This is an important and timely study. A rising interest in the socialist world of the twentieth century has led to examinations of Africa’s links with other (post)socialist regions. The book’s focus on the legacy of socialist values adds to this relatively unchartered territory. I highly recommend this book to those interested in development studies, transnational education programs, international contacts in the socialist world, reintegration, and the effects of transitions and changed political landscapes on individuals.
