📖 We would like to invite you to our upcoming book launch - Reinventing Uganda: Political Imagination and Social Change after the Fall of Idi Amin (1979-80)

🔹In April 1979, as Idi Amin’s government crumbled in the face of the Tanzanian military advance, a moment of opportunity opened. After years of dictatorship and terrifying violence, Ugandans had the opportunity to start again. This book attempts to do justice to the multiple ways in which they imagined their future at the time, before the tragic end to these turbulent months—Milton Obote’s fraudulent election and the start of the civil war.

📅 10th December 2025
