Recenzje

'The distinguishing feature of this book is that while other studies have been concerned mainly with general principles and broad evidence, Kabanda starts from an intensely personal experience as a musician who grew up in a poor suburb in Uganda and blends the insights gleaned from that experience with broader considerations. This blending of the personal with the general brings a distinctive flavour of passion and authenticity to the book that renders the experience of reading it highly enjoyable and richly rewarding at the same time.' S. R. Osmani, Journal of Human Development and Capability
