Ever wondered how Uganda came into being? Ever wonder who the first nations of Uganda are? If you ever wondered so, “Uganda & People” is for you. It is an easy read presented in the way how a Ugandan cultural anthropologist perceives her people, the people of Uganda. If you never wondered so, but are interested to learn some about Uganda and its people, this is also for you.
I’ve read and re-read this piece of yours and it’s indeed very informative. I appreciate that you’ve endevoured to document the presence of indigenous communities – the Batwa and others. Which are rapidly being phased out by mordenity. It’s sad that Uganda is no longer theirs…. Majority of us are Global westernised recaptives who know nothing about our heritage. So many sad thoughts coming to my mind but overall we need a re-education on who we are.

[…] ‘Khosian-Ugandan’ and ‘African-Ugandan’ cultures are the endogenous knowledge of Uganda. This discussion, however, does not pretend expertise in the original culture of ‘Khosian-Ugandans’ nor of ‘African-Ugandans’. The emphasis of this discussion, is to simply insist that they existed. […]

Yes, Atuhaire. Most of us are just there recaptives just. And when I hear people in Uganda saying that we should re-name roads, rivers and lakes; but are not open to assessing how we, Ugandans, colluded in totally erasing our heritage it is totally mind boggling.
