Download or read book Acholi Dictionary English written by Taban Ongee and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword This dictionary is published without any funding or assistance from any source. I published this dictionary through the Ongee Foundation, Gang kwan me Acholi. It is money I earned personally from work as an interpreter which has enabled me to write this book under the name of my business. As a language Acholi is used in business, culture, telecommunications and travel. Acholi is spoken in Uganda and South Sudan. Small numbers of Acholi people migrated to Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand, UK, Europe and Scandinavia and some of the older people who settled in those countries still practise the language. Because of the activities of the Lord's Resistance Army, who, for some time, have terrorised the Ugandan civilian population, the Acholi language has been used in the International Tribunal Court to try those who have committed human rights abuses against civilians in Northern Uganda. This dictionary is intended for those who are already fluent in speaking and writing Acholi. If you do not feel you are advanced in speaking and writing the Acholi language then you should use an Acholi beginner dictionary rather than this one. English words are rich in figurative language and I have attempted to provide the equivalent phrase in Acholi (as well as supplying the literal meaning). Due to funding restrictions I have not been able to employ a peer editor and so have decided not to use phonetic characters and accents. Unfortunately, this includes those words which have the same spelling but can only be distinguished by the accents. With increased funding I hope to rectify this is in future editions. I finished High school in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya and from therew migrated to Australia in 2006. In Kakuma, I worked as a Deputy Head Master in a primary school and a volunteer editor for the Kakuma News Bulletin. In Australia I graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2010 with a Bachelor of Media degree with Honours. I have worked with several companies in Australia as an interpreter working on-site, over the telephone and also in the detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru employed by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

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.
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Uganda written by Louise Pirouet and published by Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uganda has now joined the list of countries covered by Scarecrow Press' series of Historical Dictionaries of Africa. An introductory essay provides an overview of the geography, demography, and economy of one of Africa's most scenically beautiful and diverse countries. The historical section of the introduction outlines Uganda's chequered development as a British protectorate and then deals with its initial post-independence before outlining its tragic decent into chaos and carnage under Presidents Idi Amin and the reinstated Milton Obote. Finally, Pirouet notes the change of political direction under Yoweri Museveni. A chronology follows which locates events that are dealt with more fully in the dictionary proper. The entries in the main section of the dictionary cover places, historical events and movements, important persons and ethnic groups, languages, and political and other movements up to early 1994. This is followed by a lengthy select bibliography arranged under twelve main heads. The introduction to the bibliography provides a brief guide to the main collections of archival material relating to Uganda. One of the fascinations of Ugandan history is the exceptionaly rich documentation relating to the early colonial period, and the unusual amount of high-quality Ugandan language published and archival source material which characterizes this highly literate society.

Download or read book Followership Development and Enactment among the Acholi of Uganda written by David Wesley Ofumbi and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industrial era organizations used dualistic leadership theory, which regarded followers as objects of leaders' influence to socialize them into passive followership irrespective of context and outcome. Consequently, organizations focused on leadership and condemned active followership as a toxic behavior that sabotages organizational processes and outcomes. However, the emergence of relational leadership theory in the information era flattened organizational structure, which created a greater need for collaboration within and across sectors. In this new era, organizations cannot survive without responsible individuals who could be productive as both leaders and followers. As a result, organizations are experiencing high demand for active followership throughout organizational ranks, roles, and relationships. Nonetheless, since followership studies are still in their infancy, there is hardly any information on how followers develop and enact active followership. Whereas some studies established followership identity, role, and behaviors, and identified factors influencing their development, none has explored how they do so. This study offers a theory of followership development and enactment anchored in a seamless paradigm that can be used to expand leadership theory beyond dualistic tendencies that absolutized the differences among leadership variables despite their seamlessness. Therefore, it enhances organizational desire and capacity to develop and engage star followers effectively.
Download or read book Imitating Christ in Magwi written by Todd D. Whitmore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imitating Christ in Magwi: An Anthropological Theology achieves two things. First, focusing on indigenous Roman Catholics in northern Uganda and South Sudan, it is a detailed ethnography of how a community sustains hope in the midst of one of the most brutal wars in recent memory, that between the Ugandan government and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army. Whitmore finds that the belief that the spirit of Jesus Christ can enter into a person through such devotions as the Adoration of the Eucharist gave people the wherewithal to carry out striking works of mercy during the conflict, and, like Jesus of Nazareth, to risk their lives in the process. Traditional devotion leveraged radical witness. Second, Gospel Mimesis is a call for theology itself to be a practice of imitating Christ. Such practice requires both living among people on the far margins of society – Whitmore carried out his fieldwork in Internally Displaced Persons camps – and articulating a theology that foregrounds the daily, if extraordinary, lives of people. Here, ethnography is not an add-on to theological concepts; rather, ethnography is a way of doing theology, and includes what anthropologists call “thick description” of lives of faith. Unlike theology that draws only upon abstract concepts, what Whitmore calls “anthropological theology” is consonant with the fact that God did indeed become human. It may well involve risk to one's own life – Whitmore had to leave Uganda for three years after writing an article critical of the President – but that is what imitatio Christi sometimes requires.
