Download or read book A History of African Motherhood written by Rhiannon Stephens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of African motherhood over the longue durée demonstrates that it was, ideologically and practically, central to social, economic, cultural and political life. The book explores how people in the North Nyanzan societies of Uganda used an ideology of motherhood to shape their communities. More than biology, motherhood created essential social and political connections that cut across patrilineal and cultural-linguistic divides. The importance of motherhood as an ideology and a social institution meant that in chiefdoms and kingdoms queen mothers were powerful officials who legitimated the power of kings. This was the case in Buganda, the many kingdoms of Busoga, and the polities of Bugwere. By taking a long-term perspective from c.700 to 1900 CE and using an interdisciplinary approach - drawing on historical linguistics, comparative ethnography, and oral traditions and literature, as well as archival sources - this book shows the durability, mutability and complexity of ideologies of motherhood in this region.

Download or read book A History of Modern Uganda written by Richard J. Reid and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first major study in several decades to consider Uganda as a nation, from its precolonial roots to the present day. Here, Richard J. Reid examines the political, economic, and social history of Uganda, providing a unique and wide-ranging examination of its turbulent and dynamic past for all those studying Uganda's place in African history and African politics. Reid identifies and examines key points of rupture and transition in Uganda's history, emphasising dramatic political and social change in the precolonial era, especially during the nineteenth century, and he also examines the continuing repercussions of these developments in the colonial and postcolonial periods. By considering the ways in which historical culture and consciousness has been ever present - in political discourse, art and literature, and social relationships - Reid defines the true extent of Uganda's viable national history.
Download or read book Enkaana written by Minah Nabirye and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fieldwork texts compiled by David William Cohen on the origins of the Basoga people are over half a century old. They were collected in Busoga between 1964-1972. Some had field notes written all over them or the typewriter ink used to type them had faded or discolored making them almost unreadable. Plus both the orthography and languages used varied continuously. Gilles-Maurice de Schryver scanned all these texts and sorted them into the categories of either interviews or letters. Minah Nabirye made them machine readable either through retyping or OCRing. She then sorted them into their respective language categories and formatted each individual text .... The final book is divided into three main parts. The first part has two chapters which introduce the book. These chapters show the contributions and implications that the stories in the fieldwork texts have to the study of African history and legacy data documentation. The second part has the fieldwork texts presented in two chapters. The original fieldwork interviews and narrations are in Chapter 3. Letters sent to the Radio Uganda Talk Show hosted between 1964-1965 by L. K. Bagimba regarding inquests into Busoga clans are in Chapter 4. The third part is the appendix which has a list summarizing the clans of Busoga plus the respective totems and taboos mentioned in the texts, some fieldwork-work related photographs and the lemmatized wordlists in both Lusoga and English. This book provides the best possible rendition of Cohen's fieldwork texts. The kind of information it offers is useful to historians, educationists and researchers on both Busoga and Africa."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book A History of African Societies to 1870 written by Elizabeth Isichei and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-13 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and detailed exploration of the African past, from prehistory to approximately 1870, is intended to provide a fully up-to-date complement to the Cambridge History of Africa. Reflecting several emphases in recent scholarship, it focusses on the changing modes of production, on gender relations and on ecology, laying particular stress on viewing 'history from below'. A distinctive theme is to be found in its analyses of cognitive history. The work falls into three sections. The first comprises a historiographic analysis, and covers the period from the dawn of prehistory to the end of the Early Iron Age. The second and third sections are, for the most part, organised on regional lines; the second section ends in the sixteenth century; the third carries the story on to 1870. A second volume, now in preparation, will cover the period from 1870 to 1995. This book attempts a more rounded view of African history than most of the other textbooks on the subject addressed to a (largely) undergraduate level student. Earlier histories have tended to ignore some of the current foci in the scholarly literature on Africa, generally not reflected in the textbooks: these include discussions of topical issues like ecology and gender. Isichei's book is also more radical.
