"Controlling Anger" examines the dilemmas facing rural people who
live within the broader context of political instability. Following
Uganda's independence from Britain in 1962, the Bagisu men of
Southeastern Uganda developed a reputation for extreme violence.
Drawing on a wide range of historical sources including local court
records, statistical survey analysis, and intensive fieldwork,
Suzette Heald portrays and analyzes the civil violence that grew
out of intense land shortage, the marginalization of the Gisu under
British rule, and the construction of male gender identity among
the Gisu. Now available in a paperback edition with a new preface
by the author, "Controlling Anger" is an important contribution to
rural sociology in Africa.
