Abstract:
Uganda is currently witnessing a new era, in as far as the safeguarding of cultural heritage is concerned. The preservation and presentation of cultural heritage objects is no longer a preserve of the state. National and community museums, totaling about 25, and spread across the country, are now preserving and presenting important aspects of Uganda’s diverse and multi-layered history as well as cultural heritage. Former leaders and political personalities are rarely documented. Even when documented by non-museum workers, their narratives are insufficiently presented in museums. Certain aspects of Uganda’s cultural heritage and history are silently being contested through museum spaces. The silent contestations are generally influenced by ethnicity, politics, and religion. Through this article, I intend to present the predicament of documenting contested histories and cultural heritage by Ugandan museums and provide examples of museum objects or aspects of Uganda’s cultural heritage, such as the narrative of “Walumbe” (death), that are subject to contestations.

Abstract:
Today, anthropological museums have to reach out to external stakeholders toreprocess and reappraise the history and acquisition of their collections. They aremuch more than mere interpreters of a past heritage, but institutions having a placein contemporary history to debate and shape ever-evolving cultures grounded inboth local and global concerns. The paper explores these questions using theexample of an ongoing trilateral museum partnership in knowledge generationbetween Uganda and Switzerland.

Abstract:
AbstractIn May 2019 we launched a special exhibition at the Uganda Museum in Kampala titled “The Unseen Archive of Idi Amin.” It consisted of 150 images made by government photographers in the 1970s. In this essay we explore how political history has been delimited in the Museum, and how these limitations shaped the exhibition we curated. From the time of its creation, the Museum's disparate and multifarious collections were exhibited as ethnographic specimens, stripped of historical context. Spatially and organizationally, “The Unseen Archive of Idi Amin” turned its back on the ethnographic architecture of the Uganda Museum. The transformation of these vivid, evocative, aesthetically appealing photographs into historical evidence of atrocity was intensely discomfiting. We have been obliged to organize the exhibition around categories that did not correspond with the logic of the photographic archive, with the architecture of the Museum, or with the experiences of the people who lived through the 1970s. The exhibition has made history, but not entirely in ways that we chose.

Abstract:
This article is concerned with the memory of the Uganda Railway in Kenya. Built during the heyday of British imperialism at the end of the nineteenth century, the colonial railway has been a highly contested infrastructure. Drawing on museum exhibitions, public speeches, and publications, the article argues that the main narrative of the railway line as a tool of oppression began to change when the railway infrastructure gradually deteriorated in the mid-twentieth century. I show how three distinct groups (white expatriates, Kenyan-Asians, and Kenya’s political elite) were involved in creating a new public memory that popularized the Uganda Railway as a cornerstone of the postcolonial nation. Their uncoordinated but simultaneous efforts toward a new reading of the past all aimed, albeit for different reasons, at reimagining the nation. The article thus shows mechanisms of coming to terms with the colonial past in a postcolonial nation.

Abstract:
Although the biology of common mole-rats of the genus Fukomys has been intensively studied over the last three decades, some lineages of this speciose group of subterranean rodents remain virtually unknown to science. One of these poorly studied species is the Central African mole-rat, Fukomys ochraceocinereus (von Heuglin, 1864), which occurs in the tropical savannahs and woodlands of the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Uganda, and the Central African Republic. Here I summarize the taxonomic history and available data on the distribution and morphology of this enigmatic mole-rat, adding selected observations from museum collections. F. ochraceocinereus is a comparatively large representative of its genus that appears to express little sexual dimorphism and notable variation in pelage color. Its genetics and karyology remain severely understudied. The review highlights both apparent peculiarities of the species as well as research gaps which should be addressed by future studies on F. ochraeocinereus and its relatives, including taxonomic revisions.

Abstract:
A mixed methods research focusing on the feminist perspective was applied using an adaptation of Bronfrenbrenner’s (2005) ecological cycle to investigate the causes and appropriate responses to the underrepresentation of the Ugandan Muslim Woman in the field of higher education. The premise of the study was based upon human rights. The UN Millennium Development Goals Report (2007) suggested that despite the leaps and bounds female emancipation groups were taking toward a free, fair and equitable environment toward education, women still fared poorly in accessing higher education. Equality of access to and attainment of educational qualifications was necessary if more women were to become agents of change since education for girls was argued to be the single most effective way of alleviating poverty (King 1993). However, "Traditional cultures and sexist stereotypes diffused by media and religious extremists often affect girls' access to education; dropout rates and professional or higher education opportunities" (UN Report 2003). Notwithstanding Uganda’s affirmative action policies that openly favoured women’s progress in education, various factors adapted from Bronfrenbrenner’s ecological cycle (2005) were found to combine to lower the academic performance and aspirations of girls even when they did remain in school. An online questionnaire and semi structured in depth interviews captured women’s voices at Makerere University, Uganda and these were qualitatively analysed and coded into themes which were identified as enablers, barriers and strategies adapted by Muslim women in their pursuit of higher education. Interestingly enough religion and culture were perceived as both barriers and enablers depending on the attitudes and perceptions of different families. It is hoped that the findings of this study would subsequently make a significant contribution, so that women’s education is more effectively represented as a means towards achieving targets set by several mandates including the Millennium development goals (MDG’s), Education for All (EFA) and Widening Participation into higher Education.

Uganda is one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the planet. Under half a century of colonialist rule, the country was subjected to a loss of identity through a painful process of demoralizing propaganda and subordination that sought to create of it a consistently dependent market. Over 50 years after independence, the country is still suffering the repercussions of our recoded identity. The colonial code ensures a people that are constantly subjugated to a foreign, imperialist power, and only through recoding the colonial will we be able to take back the power of self-definition that has defined our post-colonial, neo-colonial state. The soil in which I root is an investigation into the origins and influence of the colonial in the development of national identity in Uganda within the context of Sub-Saharan African states. This research will be investigating appropriate influences, in terms of contextual relation and monumentality, which have been employed in the development of identity: looking particularly into two approaches to national identity generation – the personality cult and the anti-monument. This is conducted in order to determine an appropriate response to a Ugandan “museum” of political history – designed to contradict the existing, colonial, introspective building – within the context of Kampala city. With 70% of the population under the age 24 and the highest ethnic diversity in the world there is an urgent need to recognize Uganda’s identity as a post-independent society, in order for the development of a national self-efficacy and self-determination determination.

Abstract:
From the 1980s until the late 2000s the northern region of Uganda in East Africa endured a reign of terror imposed by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and its founder Joseph Kony. The LRA movement’s brutal tactics—abducting boys for training as soldiers, kidnapping girls as officers’ sexual partners, raping and maiming and killing innocent villagers—captured the world’s attention through Western visitors’ social media campaigns. Far less visible was the creation of a new organization to combat its destructive effects by leaders of the Protestant, Catholic, and Muslim communities in the Acholi region. Overcoming centuries of mistrust, they came together to relieve the suffering the LRA inflicted, to bring government and rebels to the negotiating table, and to assist in post-conflict recovery. This study describes the courageous work of the Acholi Religious Leaders’ Peace Initiative and its contributions to resolving one of the most horrific conflicts in recent history and helping families and communities recover from a quarter century of civil war. Drawing on published accounts of East African history, journalistic reports of the conflict and its aftermath, and extensive personal interviews in Uganda with organization leaders and LRA survivors, the author sets the background for Kony’s rebellion and draws lessons from the work of ARLPI that shed new light on how religion relates to politics, how conflict can be resolved, and how a community can reclaim its future through locally initiated initiatives against overwhelming obstacles.

Abstract:
Web 2.0 is currently pressing how museums represent themselves and educate their patrons. Major Western national museums increasingly desire such engagements, merging the digital with the educational and promising unprecedented outreach and scope. In the Global South, however, Information Communications Technology (ICT) challenges abound, including a lack of sustainable contemporary technology and the needed expertise to employ it, but Web 2.0 offers much for the educational possibilities of Global South museums, particularly with respect to oral traditions and cultures. This case study presents both the possibilities and problematics of conceptualizing a Museum Web 2.0 site for the Uganda National Museum (UNM) in Kampala.
