Uganda, a landlocked nation in East Africa, was known during
colonial times as the "Pearl of Africa," largely because of its
pleasant climate and rich land. For most of the postindependence
period, however, Uganda was one of the most brutal and violent
nations in Africa. In 1986, a new government seized power,
promising to restore internal stability and economic prosperity.
Since then, Uganda has gradually become a model for other African
states struggling to improve the lives of their citizens.In this
broad survey, Thomas P. Ofcansky examines the political, economic,
and social themes that have shaped Ugandan history. He inspects the
impact of British colonial rule, investigates the emergence of the
independence movement after World War II, and analyzes the factors
that contributed to the collapse and decay of Ugandan society after
Idi Amin's seizure of power in 1971. The author then explores the
successes, failures, and prospects of Uganda's current government.
In his conclusion, Ofcansky considers the difficulties facing a
nation divided by ethnic, religious, and regional cleavages and
argues that Ugandan leaders must work to establish a society in
which all Ugandans benefit or face the possibility of a return to
anarchy.
