Uganda: A Modern History (1981) offers a comprehensive political, social, and economic account of Uganda's history, spanning from the onset of colonial rule in 1888. The book delves into the development of the Ugandan economy, highlighting how it became structurally reliant on world capitalism during the colonial period and how this has subsequently shaped its trajectory. Additionally, it explores the political and social trends that shaped Ugandan society during both the colonial and postcolonial eras.
The first four chapters delve into the initial colonial occupation and examine the role of the colonial state in the rural dynamics involving chiefs, peasants, and migrant workers. They also explore the broader context of the national, regional, and international economy, analyzing the African nationalist response and the emergence of political parties to seize control of the postcolonial state.
The second part of the book examines the political alliances and economic strategies of the Obote regime and the events of the Amin military regime. The epilogue then takes a look at the events since the fall of the Amin regime and offers suggestions for Uganda to address its underlying economic challenges.
This comprehensive history provides valuable insights into Uganda's past and its ongoing journey toward development and prosperity.
