Book Description
Excerpt from Eastern Uganda: An Ethnological Survey If either of these aims is fulfilled I shall feel amply satisfied with the result. It would be presumptuous to suppose that my observations do more than touch the fringe of inquiry into the habits and customs of these interesting people. It is, however, very difficult to find out the why and wherefore of the various customs without a complete knowledge of the language of each group of people, and this is a point on which the average busy official fails owing to lack of time. Possibly in the near future, however, such studies may become the special work of a depart ment of the administration. At any rate it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to chronicle these features before they are obliterated by the advent of European civilization. I would here like to express my thanks to Sir H. H. Johnston, etc., and to Sir Clement Lloyd Hill, etc., for the kind interest and appreciation they have shown towards my work.

Poverty and Wealth in East Africa
Author: Rhiannon Stephens
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478024518
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
In Poverty and Wealth in East Africa Rhiannon Stephens offers a conceptual history of how people living in eastern Uganda have sustained and changed their ways of thinking about wealth and poverty over the past two thousand years. This history serves as a powerful reminder that colonialism and capitalism did not introduce economic thought to this region and demonstrates that even in contexts of relative material equality between households, people invested intellectual energy in creating new ways to talk about the poor and the rich. Stephens uses an interdisciplinary approach to write this history for societies without written records before the nineteenth century. She reconstructs the words people spoke in different eras using the methods of comparative historical linguistics, overlaid with evidence from archaeology, climate science, oral traditions, and ethnography. Demonstrating the dynamism of people’s thinking about poverty and wealth in East Africa long before colonial conquest, Stephens challenges much of the received wisdom about the nature and existence of economic and social inequality in the region’s deeper past.
