Learning leadership? Elite Ugandan students and late colonial politics
In Uganda, teaching and learning were important metaphors for colonial rule, suggesting a benign protectorate under Britain's guidance. Ugandans, though, repurposed images of teaching, studying and educational sponsorship. Drawing on indigenous ideas about effective education as a sort of experiential education in leadership, they perceived student activism as a resource for a new political and social system. Articulate Ugandans sought elite Brit…
All the Kabaka's Wives
When Britain withdrew recognition from Kabaka Mutesa II in 1953, considering him disloyal for failure to advocate for the new governor's progressive initiatives, Buganda's response was distinctive and successful: mourning. Ganda wept publicly, and portrayed themselves as wives forcibly divorced from their king/husband. With the removal of Mutesa, they argued, Britain even violated its own alliance, or marriage, with Buganda. Metaphors of marriage…
Adolescence versus Politics
In late colonial Uganda, British social scientists, development experts, religious leaders, and administrators used the metaphor of adolescence to explain political unrest. If Uganda could be seen as an adolescent, upheaval in the model colony was a sign of successful growth, not a rejection of British administration or global ideas of development and progress. Using the metaphor of adolescence, experts emphasized the period’s turmoil as signs of…
Ugandan Politics and World War II (1939–1949)
World War II shaped Uganda's postwar politics through local understandings of a global war. Individually and collectively Ugandans saw the war as an opportunity rather than simply a crisis. During the war, they acquired wealth and demonstrated loyalty to a stressed British empire, inverting paternalistic imperial relations and investing loyalty and money in ways they expected would be reciprocated with political and economic rewards. For the 77,0…
Slander, Buzz and Spin
Ugandans, from the earliest days of empire, did not simply receive information and messages from a distant Britain. Instead, with methods rooted in pre-colonial understandings of communications as establishing personal, affective, social closeness and reciprocities, they invested in education, travel and correspondence and built wide-ranging information and communications networks. Networked, they understood imperial institutions and pushed their…
Boys, Brats and Education
During the 1920s and 1930s, white settlers in Southern Rhodesia (Colonial Zimbabwe) achieved responsible government and sought to claim the region as a settlers' territory but faced a crisis with their own children and youth. Despite subsidised schools and easily available bursaries, too many white boys grew to adulthood without useful education or skills, and with disruptive expectations and demands. These youth faced immediate unemployment and …
Catholic Action and Ugandan Radicalism
In late colonial Uganda, Catholic individuals, communities, institutions and ideals shaped the rise of a popular politics that rejected the colonial alliance between Britain and Baganda oligarchs and called for change. Catholics valued and worked effectively with hierarchies, used elaborate catechisms and questioning in their calls for action, and deployed networks of activist cells and intelligence gathering as they sought community solidarity a…
Subterranean Evil’ and ‘Tumultuous Riot’ in Buganda
Staff petitions, sexual and disciplinary scandal and open riot pushed Buganda's leaders to close Budo College on the eve of Kabaka (King) Muteesa II's coronation. The upheaval at the school included a teachers' council that proclaimed ownership of the school, student leaders who manipulated the headmaster through scandal and school clubs and associations that celebrated affiliation over discipline. Instead of enacting and celebrating imperial par…

Mission Boys, Civilized Men, and Marriage
This paper examines what marriage may have meant to African men within the Christian elite of Southern Rhodesia. Using mission and government sources, it argues that domestic, Christian marriage was important to elite African men as a way of allowing them to achieve adulthood while remaining in good standing with mission sponsors who generally objected to or feared indigenous ideas of patriarchal male adulthood. Tracing life histories of two Amer…

Educational controversies
This article examines three case studies of conflict between Africans’ concepts of what education should be, and the education actually available in schools in Southern Rhodesia. It focuses on the 1920s and early 1930s, when African education first expanded and attained new levels of direct government involvement, and then began to contract under the economic pressure of the depression. In the Gutu district, students and parents fought for altern…
