Download or read book Preserving Order Amid Chaos written by John Rhodes Paige and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To say that education in Africa is under stress is all to obvious. News reports from that continent seem to describe only war and violence, poverty and malnutrition, corruption and mismanagement, or natural disasters that destroy or threaten already frail infrastructures - most news from Africa is bad news. When an education system survives in a country like Uganda, long subjected to the whims of despotic leadership, it warrants an investigation. This book tells the story of four senior secondary schools during a time of war and intractable social conflict, examining a complex topic through multiple perspectives such as documentary history, oral history, ethnography, and organization theory. The author develops a broad picture of the Amin/Obote years and the accompanying political and social chaos in Uganda, while at the same time filling in the crucial details essential for developing an understanding of school survival in the Kaborole District. The author's intensive field work gives this study a unique dimension: by preserving a record of African voices - students, teachers, parents, alumni, board members, community leaders - a rich tableau of theh local conditions for school survival emerges. At the same time the discussion is situated within the larger Ugandan historical and political context, thus offering an excellent example of the application of multiple research perspectives to a complex social, cultural and political setting.

Download or read book Ugandan English written by Christiane Meierkord and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugandan English is a variety that has scarcely been noticed in past research. This timely volume brings together African and European scholars in a first-ever collection of articles that offer comprehensive discussions of the historical and present-day sociolinguistics of English in Uganda and fine-grained analyses of the structural characteristics of and attitudes to this hitherto largely unknown variety. Using rich archive, corpus, and interview data as well as ethnographic and observational methods, the various contributions paint a comprehensive picture of Ugandan English as distinct from other East African Englishes and as characterized by nativisation despite a still strong exonormative orientation, reflecting the modern nation’s status as a post-protectorate under the influence of globalisation. Apart from advancing our understanding of Ugandan English itself, the individual chapters contribute to theoretical debates on language contact and variation as regards the influence of substrate languages, founder populations, language ideologies and socio-economic factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uganda is a landlocked country located in East Africa. Its capital city is Kampala, and the official language is English. The country is bordered by Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest, South Sudan to the north, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. Uganda’s population is estimated to be over 45 million with a diverse range of ethnic groups, religions, and cultures. The country is known for its national parks, including the famous Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, which is home to almost half of the world's mountain gorilla population. Uganda has a rich history and was formerly a British colony until it gained independence in 1962. Since then, the country has faced a number of challenges, including political instability and upheavals, economic difficulties, and a rising population that has put pressure on natural resources. Despite these challenges, Uganda has made considerable progress in recent years, including reducing poverty levels, increasing access to education, and improving healthcare outcomes. The country’s economy is driven by agriculture, and key exports include coffee, tea, and tobacco. Uganda is also increasingly attracting foreign investment and has become a hub for technology innovation in the region.

Rutooro Language is a heritage and identity of the People of the Kingdom of Tooro located in South Western Uganda.Rutooro is the principal glue that binds us as a distinct group of people. It is a means of communication. It reflects and shapes our values, beliefs and aspirations as Batooro people. It is through Rutooro that we transmit our experiences, our traditions and our knowledge from generation to generation.Cultural heritage is the legacy of tangible and intangible culture and natural heritage which is inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations.However, in the face of globalisation and a changing world, Orutooro is increasingly threatened with disappearing and taking with it our entire cultural and intellectual heritage. It is therefore pertinent and imperative that we celebrate, promote and preserve our language, Rutooro for the present and future generations.The best way to celebrate, promote and preserve our cultural heritage and Rutooro language is to share it with others. I therefore, commend Tracy Guma Adyeeri and Julian Businge Amooti for their admirable effort and work in preparing and publishing "Yega Orutooro" which will promote and help preserve the Rutooro language.I call upon every Mutooro to be proud of our heritage, ancestral roots and identity and to become the Custodians and Guardians of our language, Rutooro. I urge you to promote and preserve Rutooro by learning, teaching and speaking Rutooro with your children and ensuring that you safeguard and pass our precious language, Rutooro and our cultural heritage and identity from our generation to the next.I invite you all to read and share "Yega Orutooro". Thank you.Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IVKing of Tooro Kingdom in Uganda
