Between 1986 and 1994, East Africa's postcolonial, political
settlement was profoundly challenged as four revolutionary
'liberation' movements seized power in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda
and Uganda. After years of armed struggle against vicious
dictatorships, these movements transformed from rebels to rulers,
promising to deliver 'fundamental change'. This study exposes,
examines and underlines the acute challenges each has faced in
doing so. Drawing on over 130 interviews with the region's
post-liberation elite, undertaken over the course of a decade,
Jonathan Fisher takes a fresh and empirically-grounded approach to
explaining the fast-moving politics of the region over the last
three decades, focusing on the role and influence of its guerrilla
governments. East Africa after Liberation sheds critical light on
the competing pressures post-liberation governments contend with as
they balance reformist aspirations with accommodation of
counter-vailing interests, historical trajectories and their own
violent organisational cultures.
