Crisis of Legitimacy and Political Violence in Uganda, 1890 to 1979: African Histories and Modernities

Autor Ogenga Otunnu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 ian 2017
This book demonstrates that societies experiencing prolonged and severe crises of legitimacy are prone to intense and persistent political violence. The most significant factor accounting for the persistence of intense political violence in Uganda is the severe crisis of legitimacy of the state, its institutions, political incumbents and their challengers. This crisis of legitimacy, which is shaped by both internal and external forces, past and present, accounts for the remarkable continuity in the history of political violence since the construction of the state.
