A History of Independent Uganda
REFNo: SS5846ES
In this research I am using newly opened government records to write a history of Uganda from 1962 up to the beginning of the National Resistance Movement government in 1986. The project aims to fill a major gap in academic writing about Uganda. While there is a profusion of historical scholarship about colonial Uganda, and while there is an even greater body of political science and development studies literature about Uganda in the 1990s and 2000s, historians have written very little about Milton Obote’s and Idi Amin’s Uganda. What scholarship has been written about the period has largely been composed by scholars who saw Uganda’s past as a source of malignancy, division, and failure. My interest is in documenting the marginal forms of political community that Ugandans created in the 1960s and 70s. I am interested in the paths-not-taken of Ugandan history, the imagined polities that activists constituted in order to engage with the Ugandan state. The period was one of extraordinary activity and imagination. My research focused on people who I call ‘commoners’, to signify their distance from the center of power. Some of the people who I’m interested in were demagogues, self-righteously convinced that other Ugandans were their enemies. Others of them were earnest patriots, defending local cultures against the supervening powers of the Ugandan state. All of the people about whom I researching had to navigate the uncertain relationship between center and periphery. They worked in forgotten and marginal places, distant from the political center.
