Kakungulu and the Creation of Uganda, 1868-1928 Résumé

Kakungulu and the Creation of Uganda, 1868-1928 Michael Twaddle

Tells the history of colonial Uganda through the experiences of an extraordinary leader. The author examines the life of Kakungulu and his role in the creation of the imperial state. Was this man regarded as 'a hero', 'a collaborator', or 'a warlord'? His story reveals the dilemma for a whole generation of East Africans at the turn of the nineteenth century.

Kakungulu and the Creation of Uganda, 1868-1928 Avis

Kakungulu's extraordinary story - the freebooting warrior, ill at ease in his adopted home, who assembled a large number of ambitious warrior followers, and then established with them his own dominion in areas where overlordship had not prevailed before, only to be stripped in slow motion of the prominence he had attained...as a biography of nineteenth-century Africa it is all but without peer. -- Anthony Low * AFRICAN AFFAIRS *
...is compelling, and throws fresh light on the construction of colonial states, the constraints on Ugandans and British officials alike, the nature of conversion and the import of literacy - and above all on the ways in which colonial and post-colonial historical narratives have been constructed. This is awesome scholarship. -- Donald Denoon * ASA of AUSTRALIA & PACIFIC *
... Twaddle has put the historiography of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Uganda on to a quite new footing. -- Christopher Wrigley * JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORY *
...a richly textured life and times of one of Uganda's most significant historical figures. Let us hope this fine book will mark a reawakening of research and publication on the history of the lakes region of eastern Africa. -- David M. Anderson * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
