    Adolescent fertility and sexuality in Uganda: determinants, consequences and management
    (Makerere University, 1987-08-08) Rwabukwali, Charles B.
    In Uganda, adolescents constitute almost half of the total population and being of reproductive age, they contribute more to fertility than any other categories of persons. Moreover, adolescents have unique problems related to their fertility and sexuality and their position in society. These include increased health risks to the young mothers and their babies. Other consequences of adolescent fertility are examined in this paper and possible ways to manage this adolescent fertility discussed. Lastly, an attempt is made to locate adolescent fertility and sexuality in the socio-cultural context of the prevailing Uganda environment.

    The agrarian question and the role of women as chief agricultural producers in Africa: the case of Uganda
    ( 1984-02-10) Ayuru, Rose N.
    Women's participation in agricultural production cannot be viewed outside the socio-economic, socio-cultural and political contexts of the societies in which they find themselves. Similarly, agricultural productivity must be analysed within the framework of the agrarian system in question, if a correct analysis is to be made. Furthermore, women's participation in agriculture, in particular, and in economic activities, in general, should be looked at through their role within the division of labor in a given society.

    An analysis of the Agro-industry in Uganda and its role in economic development
    ( 1965) Makerere Institute of Social Research
    Uganda's major industry is agriculture and most non-farm production and service is related to agriculture. Nearly ninety per--cent of the population lives in rural areas. A large share of the industrial employment in centres like Jinja and Kampala is in agricultural processing and service industry. The development of agro-industrial setup certainly facilitates the training of workers. Such training in effect enhances economic mobility in the direction of urbanization. This in turn will fundamentally affect both the family organization and industrial relations in the society. The importance of understanding the moving forces of such structural changes in the process of change and development cannot be over-emphasized. Within the nexus' of the agro-industrial development areas' the special problem connected with the so called 'target workers and their relations with the 'host' group. Connected with this relationship- is the issue; of the land tenure system which all affect the productivity of agriculture.

    Aspects of food shortages in Tanganyika (1925-45)
    ( 1966-12) Mascarenhas, A.
    The problem of food hunger and shortage has attracted the attention of scholars from a number of different disciplines. Members of the medical profession are interested in the problem largely because of its direct physiological manifestation. A school in anthropology considers food production as a vital determinant of human behaviour.

    Aspects of urban unemployment in Uganda.
    ( 1966) Hutton, C. R.
    From the early years of this century, a periodic problem besetting development in Uganda has been shortage of labour, a shortage which was shared by the Baganda farmers who came to depend on hired labour. From the 1920s this shortage was met by increasing immigration of labour from countries bordering on Uganda, notably Ruanda-Urundi, by revruiting agencies and by a growing flow of' immigrants from West Nile, Kigezi and Ankole and later from other areas of Uganda (Powesland 1954). From the middle 1950s the annual reports of the Labour Department begin to mention periodic surpluses of the unskilled labour in towns, co-existing with shortages of labour elsewhere. The last reports of 1959 and 1960 speak of general surplus of all labour in towns, except the most highly skilled, and or growing numbers of school leavers coming onto the labour market with inadequate qualifications for the rising standards expected by employers. The reports qualify this by adding the unemployment was not a serious urban problem because the unemployed were able to return to their homes when they failed to find work.

    Basis of conflict among peasant communities
    (Makerere Institute of Social Research, 1987) Asowa, Charles
    Nearly thirty five years ago the broad mass of the Kenyan people, particularly those from central Kenya and the Rift Valley took up arms to wage a protracted people's war against British imperialism. The war was fought under the auspices of Kenya Land freedom Army (KFLA), popularly known as Mau Mau led by Dedan Kimathi. The Mau Mau war was the first one of the kind in colonial Africa. Others FLN, MPLA, FRELIMO, PAIGO, ZAMA, SWAPO, etc. were to come later. it posed a great challenge to the position of British imperialism, not only in Kenya but throughout Africa, and hence it was crashed with massive repression and bestiality. But to-day more than ever the Mau Mau question still remains a subject of great concern, controversy and inspiration among Kenyan Scholars and politicians.

    A brief description of the social system of the Lugbara.
    ( 1950) Middleton, John
    The Lugbara and Madi (properly Ma’di, but I shall keep the traditional spelling) are the most easterly speakers of the Eastern Sudanic group of languages, which stretches from the Lake Chad region to the Nile Valley. They are usually referred to by Government sources as Nilotic tribes; this is incorrect. They are distinct both culturally and linguistically from the neighboring Nilotic peoples to the east of the Nile.

    Broken symbols and religious innovation in Africa: An evaluation of theories of religious change.
    ( 1982) Nelson, Jack
    The following essay represents a search for heuristically useful theory to understand the forces of religious innovation in an African context. The search progresses by employing a model derived from studies in symbolic anthropology. That model is extended by integrating it with an intellectual model of paradigm change that has been suggested to account for religious conversion in Africa. The search is then furthered with greater contextual analysis of socio-economic changes in Africa that occurred in the process of articulation of modes of production, seeking to understand how these changes relate to alterations in ideologies and religious beliefs and practices. The conclusion will then explore the role of the former symbolic model as it relates to the latter historical-materialist understanding in an attempt to account for the variability of expression that occurs in African religious innovation.
