Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic conflict and pluralism in Uganda’s Greater Kibaale Region
Item type: Books • Author: Jimmy Spire SsentongoKibaale region in Uganda provides an interesting case study where periods of conflict between the ‘indigenous’ people (the Banyoro) and ‘immigrants’ (the Bafuruki) have been interspersed with instances of coexistence. Whereas much scholarly work has discussed episodes of tension and conflict, the moments of peace have scarcely been touched upon. Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic Conflict and Pluralism in Uganda's Greater Kibaale Region contributes to ethnicity debates by exploring how the people of Kibaale imagine and live out possibilities for coexistence. In do so, Living with ‘Others’ makes a contribution to theories of ethnic pluralism and practical imaginations of coexistence in Kibaale. These can be applied to the rest of Uganda, Africa and elsewhere in the world where inter-ethnic conflicts have disrupted peace and resulted in human suffering. -
A Powerhouse of the Spirit: The Life and Art of Sister Margaret Watson of Grahamstown
Item type: Books • Author: William BarhamA Powerhouse of the Spirit tells the story of a remarkable woman, Margaret Watson, who left her conventionally middle-class home in England to join an Anglican sisterhood in Grahamstown (now known as Makhanda) in what was then the Cape Colony at the start of the twentieth century. This extraordinary community of inspiring women engaged themselves in educational and caring work among young people of all races in South Africa. They built an impressive network of schools, orphanages and homes across the subcontinent that left their mark both nationally and in countless individual lives. It was in this community of dedicated women that Margaret Watson found fulfilment and self-expression both spiritually and artistically. Her work as a painter, whose vision was nourished by her inner life, is becoming increasingly recognised and appreciated.
