Book excerpt: "Circumcision and Coffee in Uganda" is a history of an African ethnic group known as the Bamasaaba [bah-MAH-sah-bah]. It is about the group's origins and their responses to Europeans and others who began arriving uninvited in their homeland over a century and a half ago. The main challenge the Bamasaaba faced was retaining control of their land, livelihood and culture during the sixty years their homeland was occupied by a colonial power, the British. They responded by trying to strengthen group identity and unity around the beliefs, values and behaviors expressed in their male initiation and circumcision rite, "imbalu." Greater unity was also pursued through economic solidarity based on their small-holder coffee cultivation. The Bamasaaba believed these efforts were their best hope to survive as a society and culture. This book tells how the Bamasaaba went about this and to what degree they succeeded up to the present.This 414-page volume has something for all readers: those interested in the world's cultures and how they change; secondary school and university students; academics in the humanities and social sciences; and all others interested in ancient and modern Africa. It contains politics, economics, myth, intrigue, romance, poetry, and humor - stories anyone, from any background, can relate to and appreciate. It contains the actions of ivory hunters and slave traders, European explorers, African kings and generals, Christian missionaries, and British soldiers and colonial administrators. The book describes the schemes and methods of these agents of change, yet it never loses sight of the average villager and how s/he responded to their new ideas and technologies. While writing this book I learned a lot about the Bamasaaba, Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, and the history of East Africa, the Cradle of Humankind. It changed and improved my life in many ways. I hope reading it will do the same for you. JEL

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After experiencing a boom during the mid-1990s, the performance of Uganda's coffee industry has been disappointing. Most existing analyses see the sector's problems as quality deterioration, poor marketing position in the global market, weak regulatory framework, and poor infrastructure. Recommendations range from setting up a coffee auction to increasing the share of specialty coffees. This paper concludes that such advice has been largely inconsistent with the stylized facts of the Ugandan coffee industry. It argues that the coffee wilt disease and the effectiveness of the coffee replanting program are the two key issues on which policymakers and the donor community should focus their activities and allocate their resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: World Health Organization (WHO) recommends early infant male circumcision (EIMC) for HIV prevention in countries with high HIV prevalence and low male circumcision (MC) coverage, like Uganda. This dissertation assessed the effect of MC knowledge on EIMC (chapter 1) and theorized determinants of intention to circumcise male infants and associated moderators in central Uganda (chapter 2). It also explored health workers' perspectives on EIMC in a traditionally non-circumcising community in northeastern Uganda (chapter 3). Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of parents of male children aged 0-5 years from central Uganda (chapters 2 and 3). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine correlates of male infant circumcision (chapter 2, n=1,831). The theory of planned behavior (TPB) predictors of intention to circumcise male children and potential moderators were assessed using PATH analyses (chapter 3, n=2,134). To explore health workers' perspectives on EIMC (chapter 4), a qualitative descriptive study was conducted using in-depth interviews with health workers (n=26) in Soroti and Katakwi districts. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The odds of having a circumcised male child were higher among parents who knew MC prevents HIV infection (aOR 1.77, 95% CI 1.57-1.98, p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book investigates psychiatry in Uganda during the years of decolonisation. It examines the challenges facing a new generation of psychiatrists as they took over responsibility for psychiatry at the end of empire, and explores the ways psychiatric practices were tied to shifting political and development priorities, periods of instability, and a broader context of transnational and international exchange. At its heart is a question that has concerned psychiatrists globally since the mid-twentieth century: how to bridge the social and cultural gap between psychiatry and its patients? Bringing together archival research with oral histories, Yolana Pringle traces how this question came to dominate both national and international discussions on mental health care reform, including at the World Health Organization, and helped spur a culture of experimentation and creativity globally. As Pringle shows, however, the history of psychiatry during the years of decolonisation remained one of marginality, and ultimately, in the context of war and violence, the decolonisation of psychiatry was incomplete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uganda is one of the most fascinating countries in Africa. Situated in the middle of the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa, it is home to diverse flora and fauna. Little wonder Winston Churchill famously named it “the Pearl of Africa”. Neighbored by South Sudan, DRC, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, Uganda claims the source of the River Nile and a larger share of Victoria, Africa’s largest lake. Uganda’s capital, Kampala is famous for hosting many international conferences and summits including the 2007 Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting. Uganda is witnessing rapid development, overseen by Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni who has served as president since 1986, making him the longest serving leader in Uganda. Museveni came to power on the backdrop of a 5-year guerilla struggle that toppled the regimes of Milton Obote and the military junta of Tito Okello Lutwa. Historical Dictionary of Uganda, Second Edition, covers the history of Uganda using a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and a bibliography. The dictionary section covers many entries on politics, economy, foreign affairs, religion, society, culture, and important personalities. The book provides a quick access for researchers, students, tourists, and anyone interesting in learning about Uganda.

Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking narrative, longtime Washington Post reporter Craig Timberg and award-winning AIDS researcher Daniel Halperin tell the surprising story of how Western colonial powers unwittingly sparked the AIDS epidemic and then fanned its rise. Drawing on remarkable new science, Tinderbox overturns the conventional wisdom on the origins of this deadly pandemic and the best ways to fight it today. Recent genetic studies have traced the birth of HIV to the forbidding equatorial forests of Cameroon, where chimpanzees carried the virus for millennia without causing a major outbreak in humans. During the Scramble for Africa, colonial companies blazed new routes through the jungle in search of rubber and other riches, sending African porters into remote regions rarely traveled before. It was here that humans first contracted the strain of HIV that would eventually cause 99 percent of AIDS deaths around the world. Western powers were key actors in turning a localized outbreak into a sprawling epidemic as bustling new trade routes, modern colonial cities, and the rise of prostitution sped the virus across Africa. Christian missionaries campaigned to suppress polygamy, but left in its place fractured sexual cultures that proved uncommonly vulnerable to HIV. Equally devastating was the gradual loss of the African ritual of male circumcision, which recent studies have shown offers significant protection against infection. Timberg and Halperin argue that the same Western hubris that marked the colonial era has hamstrung the effort to fight HIV. From the United Nations AIDS program to the Bush administration's historic relief campaign, global health officials have favored well-meaning Western approaches--abstinence campaigns, condom promotion, HIV testing--that have proven ineffective in slowing the epidemic in Africa. Meanwhile they have overlooked homegrown African initiatives aimed squarely at the behaviors spreading the virus. In a riveting narrative that stretches from colonial Leopoldville to 1980s San Francisco to South Africa today, Tinderbox reveals how human hands unleashed this epidemic and can now overcome it, if only we learn the lessons of the past.
