Reuben Stephen Anywar
In a posthumous publication in 1954, seven years after his death, Reuben Anywar became the second Acholi to publish a book. Acoli ki Ker Megi was released one year after Lacito Okech’s Tekwaro ki Ker Lobo Acholi. Unlike Okech, who received little education, Anywar was among the first northern Ugandan graduates of Makerere College. He became one of the first Black teachers at the prestigious Gulu High School and was the founder and original editor…
The ‘iron donkey’
This article investigates the history of bicycles – one of the most common technologies – in Acholiland, northern Uganda. Bicycles are among the most common means of transportation in this region, where people are recovering from a brutal armed conflict between the Ugandan government and the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (1987–2006). People who own bicycles in Acholiland often speak of them as local objects. Some owners have even given the…
Returning to the world of ancestors
The encounters between Acholi and Europeans, beginning in 1904 with the settlement of the Church Missionary Society in Acholiland, had a profound impact on the people. Scholars have long examined the impact of these encounters on various aspects of life. But a study of their impact on mortuary practices in the region has largely been neglected. Recently, scholars have shined a spotlight on death and dying as a result of the armed conflict that en…
The fate of a transitional chief in colonial Acholiland
This article examines the life and career of Chief Iburaim Lutanyamoi Awich, arguably the most influential and controversial chief at the dawn of colonial rule in northern Uganda. When Acholiland was annexed to the Uganda Protectorate in the 1890s, Acholi chiefs responded differently to the colonial state. While some placed their polities under the new administration, others, including Awich, resisted colonial encroachment on their chiefdoms. But…
Local Intellectuals
In 1953, Lacito Okech, a precolonial royal messenger, Christian convert, and colonial chief, became the first Acholi to write and publish a history of his people. The book was instantly popular, inspiring many other Acholi to write histories of their respective chiefdoms. However, although these works constitute the bulk of vernacular Acholi histories, scholars have not paid attention to them, partly because of language limitations and partly due…
