Opis

This book offers an intellectual history of colonial Buganda, using previously unseen archives to recast the end of empire in East Africa.

Recenzje

'Earle's work in elaborating the intellectual journeys of these individuals is vivid and methodologically innovative. It reclaims fragmentary sources and interprets intellectual leaps to emphasize a contingent and creative literary culture connecting diverse narratives of Uganda's history, religious ideas, and secular visions of progress, development, and (sometimes) democracy.' Carol Summers, African Studies Review
