The cultural context of training
China and Australia differ markedly in cultural and social context, the demands placed on interpreters, and the training provided to interpreters to prepare them for professional duties. This paper aims to explore China and Australia’s translation and interpreting (T&I) training programs to elaborate on the “goodness of fit” of training and demonstrates how both the pragmatic and cultural context of interpreting (in both nations) explains anomali…
Cherry River
The multimedia exhibition Cherry River, Where the Rivers Mix was presented to audiences in August 2018 at the Missouri Headwaters State Park in Three Forks, Montana. Long before the European invasion across the Atlantic, the headwaters, or the confluence of three forks of the Missouri River, was a crossroads for Northern Plains Indians. The place-based project, Cherry River, created by artist Mary Ellen Strom and Native American researcher Shane …
Chronology and Causality in Africa's HIV Pandemic
By 2018 approximately 32 million deaths worldwide had been attributed to HIV/AIDS. Yet the impact of the AIDS pandemic has been profoundly uneven. In the Global North, HIV has been constructed as marginal; in much of Africa, it is pervasive and transformative, fundamentally reshaping local economies, civil society, state structures and the continent's relations with the outside world. HIV is in reality a series of distinct epidemics, each with th…
Pandemics and soft power
The COVID-19 outbreak of 2020 threatened years of effort by the Chinese authorities to extend its influence around the world. This article seeks to enhance understanding of China’s defensive engagement with global health agencies, and more broadly of the relationship between pandemics and soft power, through an analysis of Uganda’s evolving response to HIV/AIDS. As with COVID-19, HIV/AIDS presented a fundamental threat not only to countries’ inte…
The Blessings of Medicine? Patient Characteristics and Health Outcomes in a Ugandan Mission Hospital, 1908–19701
This article sheds new light on the impact and experience of western biomedicine in colonial Africa. We use patient registers from Western Uganda’s earliest mission hospital to explore whether and how Christian conversion and mission education affected African health behaviour. A data set of 18,600 admissions permits analysis of patients’ age, sex, residence, religion, diagnoses, duration of hospitalisation and treatment outcomes. We document Tor…
The genome of a Late Pleistocene human from a Clovis burial site in western Montana
Sexual behavioural change in Ankole, western Uganda, c.1880–1980
Within the Great Lakes region of East Africa previous research on the emergence of HIV/AIDS has focused primarily on Uganda's Central and Tanzania's Kagera Regions, and the locally dominant ethnic groups, the Ganda and the Haya. The patterns of sexual behaviour which facilitated the rapid spread of HIV have typically been associated with changes which occurred during the 1970s, a decade characterised by declining state services, growing violence …

Immigrants and indigenes
This is a study of ethnic politics in colonial Buganda, one of East Africa's largest and oldest kingdoms. It compares two strategies of ethnic integration: one designed to discipline the enormous, disparate body of economic migrants who sought to share in Buganda's cash-cropping wealth; the other aimed at undermining the irredentism of the Nyoro population of the "Lost Counties", territory that had been conquered by the British and transferred to…
The Child of Death’
Traditional sources tell us relatively little about how Africans perceived death in the past. In some societies, however, changing attitudes towards mortality can be identified from the names which were given to babies. In Bunyoro almost a third of the names that were given during the colonial period referred to death. The declining frequency of death-related names from the 1940s offers significant insights into the impact of Christianity, educat…

The Cwezi-Kubandwa Debate
The Cwezi-kubandwa cult was the most prominent form of religious belief in the interlacustrine region of East Africa during the pre-colonial period. It has long been regarded as providing ideological support to monarchical regimes across the region. Recently, though, scholars have contrasted the hegemonic ambitions of the state with evidence that Cwezi-kubandwa also provided opponents of pre-colonial authority structures with both ideological and…
From Kitara to the Lost Counties
This article examines the use of genealogy in the politics of colonial Bunyoro, a kingdom within the modern state of Uganda. In particular, the article focuses on Bunyoro's attempt to have territory that had been transferred to a neighbouring kingdom at the time of conquest, known as the ‘lost counties’, restored to their homeland. Such ethnic, irredentist political activity in Africa has often been regarded as retrogressive and anti-modern. In B…
Inside West Nile - Mark Leopold
The Language of Flowers
The absence of writing from indigenous sub-Saharan cultures has often been identified as one of the key elements that distinguished African societies from those of Europe and Asia. Literacy permits an extension of the range of human intercourse, increased bureaucratic and commercial complexity, and an enlargement and stabilization of political scale. Some scholars suggest that it also encourages a more abstract and detached way of thinking about …
Population Decline and Delayed Recovery in Bunyoro, 1860–1960
R APID population growth is commonly depicted as one of the greatest problems facing modern Africa. For decades, the tendency of birth rates to exceed mortality rates has prompted predictions of land shortage, resource depletion and mass starvation. Underlying causes of high fertility are hypothesized to have been an unusually high demand for human agricultural labour, ‘traditional religious pronatalism’ and a ‘horror of barrenness’, while in som…
The Population History of Buhaya
Cet article resume les recherches sur la population des Buhaya en Tanzanie du Nord-Ouest. Leur histoire demographique est inhabituelle par rapport aux autres regions de l'Afrique orientale : premierement, malgre la pauvrete du sol, la densite de la population est plus elevee qu'ailleurs ; deuxiement, la population n'a pas diminue suite a la basse fertilite et a la haute mortalite enfantine, mais bien au contraire, les Buhaya ont enregistre la plu…
