The Wages of Slavery
The transition from chattel slavery to forced labour in Africa and the Caribbean during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has commanded increasing attention from scholars in recent years. The Wages of Slavery tackles this subject from a protoproletarian perspective, studies new labour regimes in Africa and the Caribbean, and discusses work practices before and after emancipation the nature of the working week, subsistence and surplus f…
Some Implications of Literacy in Uganda
During the last fifty years, several debates have waxed and waned regarding the implications of literacy for African history. Among social scientists in general and social anthropologists in particular, Jack Goody and Ian Watt's survey of "The Consequences of Literacy" (1963) for hitherto preliterate or partially literate and now modernizing societies, drew attention to one suggested transformation: "The importance of writing lies in its creating…

Christian Missionaries and the State in the Third World
The Development of Communalism among East African Asians
The social and ritual exclusiveness of South Asian settlers and their offspring in East Africa has been stressed by a number of writers. None is more outspoken than Prem Bhatia, the journalist-turned-diplomat, in his account of the Indian Ordeal in Africa (1973). There, Bhatia suggests that Punjabis socialized more freely across caste and sect lines than more exclusive Gujaratis, accepting that rich Asians’ rudeness towards African leaders during…

Z. K. Sentongo and the Indian Question in East Africa
East Africa is really what one may call a ‘test case’ for Great Britain. If Indians cannot be treated as equals in a vacant or almost vacant part of the world where they were the first in occupation—a part of the world which is on the equator—it seems that the so-called freedom of the British Empire is a sham and a delusion. The Indian question in East Africa during the early 1920s can hardly be said to have been neglected by subsequent scholars.…

Uganda
Democracy has been conspicuous by its absence in Uganda almost since independence as the executive presidency of Milton Obote gave way to the eight‐year tyranny of Idi Amin and the questionable voting practices which ushered in Obote's second term, itself interrupted by a second military coup in 1985. The attainment of power a year later by the National Resistance Movement of Yoweri Museveni ushered in a period during which political parties incl…

Changing Uganda
Yoweri Museveni battled to power in 1986 and his government impressed many observers, some of whom recommended it as a model for other African states struggling to develop their resources in the best interests of their people. But where was change to start and how was it to continue in order to resolve the dilemmas facing Uganda? North America: Ohio U Press; Uganda: Fountain PublishersBR>

On Ganda Historiography
And so," commented Goody and Watt in their celebrated discussion of the consequences of literacy, not long after the widespread diffusion of writing throughout the Greek world, and the recording of the previously oral cultural tradition, there arose an attitude to the past very different from that common in non-literate societies. Instead of the unobtrusive adaptation of past traditions to present needs, a great many individuals found in the writ…

The Emergence of Politico-Religious Groupings in Late Nineteenth-Century Buganda
This article reconsiders the emergence of politico-religious groupings in the kingdom of Buganda in the late nineteenth century, in the light of historical writings and research since 1952. It accepts J. M. Waliggo's view that the Christian martyrdoms of the mid-1880s need to be taken seriously by secular historians as an influence upon later Christian fanaticism. However, the link to later fanaticism was only politically established during the c…

Ganda receptivity to change
This article surveys a number of recent attempts to explain Ganda receptivity to change during the last hundred years, and suggests that the supposed Ganda ‘urge to excel’ was as much a result of modernization as its principal cause. The article also stresses that modernization in Buganda has proved an extremely patchy business, but that before any serious attempt can be made to relate the patches to more general theories it is necessary to tackl…

Towards an Early History of the East African Interior
The period between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries is a perplexing one in the history of the east African interior. For the first part of the period archeology is the most reliable indicator of what really happened there. For the second part oral traditions supplement the archeological record. Regarding evidence, therefore, our period is one of transition. Our principal concern in this survey will be to consider how far this transition in ev…
