Book Synopsis Culture and Customs of Uganda by : Kefa M. Otiso
Download or read book Culture and Customs of Uganda written by Kefa M. Otiso and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since achieving independence from Great Britain in 1962, the East African country of Uganda has been ravaged by political turmoil and the more recent crisis of the AIDS epidemic, but is now in the process of rebuilding and democratizing. Culture and Customs of Uganda is a fascinating overview of the current state of Ugandan society, where largely rural ethnic groups are experiencing the pull of urban centers, while the changes brought about by Western influences bear on practically every aspect of people's lives. Examples from the main ethnic groups are used to explain traditional culture and adaptations to modern life in religion, gender roles, courtship and marriage, work, education, family life, ceremonies, the arts, media, and more. This is the essential reference source to turn to for solid insight into Uganda. The wealth of detail in the coverage of the subjects above plus the land, people, history, literature, architecture/housing, cuisine, dress, gender roles, social customs and lifestyle, provides readers with broad sense of the country and its inhabitants. The sensitive narrative conveys the nuances between old and new, urban and rural, elite and poor for each topic. In addition, the evolution of Ugandan peoples is superbly demonstrated. Highlights include a discussion of the ways in which adherents of world religions such as Christianity and Islam mix these with traditional African religious belief in spirits, diviners, and rainmakers. The book also explores patriarchy and the social and inheritance system that has hindered women's education and prospects and exposed them to HIV/AIDS. Finally, there is a celebration of the various forms of artistic expression, such as drumming, ceremonial dance, and handicrafts, particularly ceramic pottery, that have won accolades, as well as a look at artists who excel in writing poetry, producing hip-hop, and painting batiks for popular consumption.

Download or read book Innocent written by Kevin McLaughlin and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opwonya Innocent was born three years after unrest started in northern Uganda and three years before the formation of the anti-government Lord's Resistance Army led by Joseph Kony. Death came to his village when he was only seven, and soon his parents required him to sleep miles away from home for safety. At ten he was abducted by Kony's army and taken to a training camp for child soldiers, where brutality and violence became his new reality. After a narrow escape he was taken by government soldiers to a counseling center before returning to his family, now without the guidance of a father. Since that time, Innocent has exhibited extraordinary resilience, pushing through these and many other challenges, ultimately securing a position which has allowed him to come to the aid of countless children in Uganda facing much of the same hardship. The book reveals, in his own words, Innocent's struggle to heal from the trauma he experienced, a growing awareness of a desire to help others and his tireless effort to realize meaningful, positive change. Innocent's inspiring story embodies the triumph of hope and determination over pain, trauma and fear.

You'll meet boisterous children, worried parents, anxious teens, and curious seniors--all hungry, whether they know it or not, for the Good News. You'll witness moments of looming danger and crushing heartache, moments of shining hope and pure miracle. You'll be inspired anew by those who dare to obey God's call to take His story to the ends of the earth. And you'll be encouraged to pray for those who dare to open their hearts not only to the message but also to the One who calls and sustains them. The art of any story is the truth that it paints. I pray you'll find this book chock-full of truth. I pray that every single entry causes words of Scripture to jump off the page and onto the pavement of authentic human experiences, causing you not only to see their lives differently but also to change the way you see your own. -- from the Introduction by Beth Moore All royalties for the Voices of the Faithful series support the work of the International Mission Board.
Book Synopsis Living His Story Together by : Hannah Steele
Download or read book Living His Story Together written by Hannah Steele and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Profound, learned, informed, committed, invested and hope-filled . . . a book to renew and revive us.' ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN WELBY In Living His Story (2020), Hannah Steele wrote 'with an infectious understanding of her subject' (Mark Oakley, Church Times). Now, in Living His Story Together, she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through engaging with scripture and current theological thinking, and sharing real-life stories from churches on the front line. Living His Story Together isn't an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish, for example) but an exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three of God's missionary disciples are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, cultural engagement, presence, diversity and spoken witness, and offers practical principles - vividly enlivened by relating the imaginative and disarming ways in which ordinary churches and individuals are sharing the gospel - to help us embrace the great privilege to which we have been called.

Book Synopsis The Silent Sunset by : Jennifer Nyeko-Jones
Download or read book The Silent Sunset written by Jennifer Nyeko-Jones and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SILENT SUNSET is a biography of Sirayo Yona Nyeko, born and raised in colonial Uganda, during the middle of the twentieth century. With the advent of the brutal regime of Idi Amin in Uganda, 1971-79, Sirayo sought sanctuary in his own innocence and his faith in mankind, a faith that would be sorely tested with ultimately tragic consequences. His story is just one of the over 300,000 victims of Amin's tyranny, one of the most evil despots of modern history. This book is unique in that it breaks away from the current trend of writing about Amin and instead depicts the brutal real life consequences of the dictator's rule. A first-hand account of one of the victims of Idi Amin. The news about my father first appeared as a headline in the Sunday Times of London in June 1977. The news altered mine and my family's life forever.....
Book Synopsis Religion, Conflict, and Democracy in Modern Africa by : Samuel K. Elolia
Download or read book Religion, Conflict, and Democracy in Modern Africa written by Samuel K. Elolia and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning various regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, the authors of this volume come together to explore the complex relationship between religion and democracy in contemporary Africa. As a result of the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union, many African countries have come to the realization, however partial, that political and social change is inevitable in spite of government heavy-handedness and threats. It has also become evident that no political system that refuses to permit freedom of political expression and alternative systems of governance could continue to be sustained. It is in precisely this political climate that religious institutions have collaborated with other elements of civil society to call for political reforms, with the church often becoming the prominent voice against oppressive governments in countries such as Kenya and South Africa. It is the purpose of this book to assess how religion shapes political issues and to what extent religious forces influence the civil society. By acknowledging the role of the civil society, the essays recognize the resilience that comes out of Africa even when the sociopolitical situation seems unbearable.

Book Synopsis Born in Africa, Conceived in Heaven: A Father's Journal by : Dan Tarrant
Download or read book Born in Africa, Conceived in Heaven: A Father's Journal written by Dan Tarrant and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-01-12 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Africa, Conceived in Heaven is the story of one man's journey to fatherhood, a journey that took Dan to many unexpected places and experiences that stretched him as a person, a husband and a Christian. Dan readily admits that there were many times he "could not see the path forward." If not for a profound sense that God was calling so directly to adopt John and Nya, Dan says the only logical thing to do would have been to give up. Praise God that we walk by faith and not by logic alone. If you are a Christian, regardless of your Church, you'll enjoy Dan's search for God's will in the midst of his family's search to be a family. If you are not a believer, you'll be surprised at the organic rather than didactic manner in which Dan searches for and finds the role of God in his journey. Dan's original intention was to write this for his children. They are the primary audience in this series of journal entries. John and Nya, this is really your book. Thanks for sharing it with the world!
Book Synopsis International Responses to Mass Atrocities in Africa by : Kurt Mills
Download or read book International Responses to Mass Atrocities in Africa written by Kurt Mills and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II and the founding of the United Nations, genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes—mass atrocities—have been explicitly illegal. When such crimes are committed, the international community has an obligation to respond: the human rights of the victims outweigh the sovereignty claims of states that engage in or allow such human rights violations. This obligation has come to be known as the responsibility to protect. Yet, parallel to this responsibility, two other related responsibilities have developed: to prosecute those responsible for the crimes, and to provide humanitarian relief to the victims—what the author calls the responsibility to palliate. Even though this rhetoric of protecting those in need is well used by the international community, its application in practice has been erratic at best. In International Responses to Mass Atrocities in Africa, Kurt Mills develops a typology of responses to mass atrocities, investigates the limitations of these responses, and calls for such responses to be implemented in a more timely and thoughtful manner. Mills considers four cases of international responses to mass atrocities—in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Darfur—putting the cases into historical context and analyzing them according to the typology, showing how the responses interact. Although all are intended to address human suffering, they are very different types of actions and accomplish different things, over different timescales, on different orders of magnitude, and by very different types of actors. But the critical question is whether they accomplish their objectives in a mutually supportive way—and what the trade-offs in using one or more of these responses may be. By expanding the understanding of international responsibilities, Mills provides critical analysis of the possibilities for the international community to respond to humanitarian crises.
