Sources and Importance of History Mwl DOTTO YOTHAM -0719240730 HISTORY FORM ONE TOPIC 1: SOURCES AND IMPORTANCE OF HISTORY Meaning of history History is the study of man and his activities in different times. These activities enable man to obtain his needs. Man’s basic needs are food, cloths, and shelter In general, history can also refer to an academic discipline, which uses a narrative to examine and analyze the sequences of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that determine them. It is the record of human activities, which enable man to survival and attain essential needs from the environment. IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING HISTORY. 1. Understand how African societies were formed, how they developed and the factors that influenced this development. 2. It also allows us to develop an understanding of the events, conditions and factors that shaped the past and those, which have shaped the present conditions of the world in order to predict the future. 3. Historical knowledge makes the present comprehensive, which is why journalists and writers of sensational stories spend some time explaining the history of a particular incident; it is only when one knows the past of a person or an incident that the present can became meaningful. 4. Develop an understanding and appreciation of the cultural, political, economic and technological advancements made by African societies before and after colonial rulers. 5. Develop the basic skills of critical thinking, reasoning, judgment, empathy and effective participation in human developmental activities. 6. Studying history also helps us to understand and appreciate the efforts made and strategies used by African people to regain their independence and resist neo-colonialism 7. Develop, understand and appreciation the need for African unity, cooperation and interdependence, conflict resolution and effective participation in social, economic and political development of Africa. 8. It also helps us to develop an understanding of the relationships between African’s development problems and foreign intrusion, colonial domination, cultural subjugation and economic exploitation at various stages in history. Page 1 of 224 9. -Acquire knowledge for its own sake as you enjoy a novel with fiction, a film with an interesting plot. It is not clear why people are interested in these ventures and in the same way, people do enjoy to know the history of particular topics. 10. Develop our patriotism, history students know their heroes and heroes and traitors. This makes history a sensitive subject in places where political leaders are not sure of their legitimacy. 11. Enlightens people about the advantages of certain economic practices for example, the way the development in the world today is measured by the industrial revolution that took place in Europe in 1750. 12. Understand the level of development at different stages of human development. Without history, it is very difficult to determine or to tell what humans were doing in the past. 13. Helps us learn about technological transformations, for example primitive livelihood to advanced livelihood (using of stones and wood tools to iron tools) 14. Understand how humans adapted to their environment and how the struggled to earn a living from the environment. This therefore looks at the long struggle of man by exercises of his reason -to understand the environment and to act up on it. 15. Understand the relationship that existed between humans, and between humans and the environment. 16. Acquire skills in historical issues and becoming professionals in history, some people such as archaeologists and historians study history for career purposes. SOURCES OF HISTORY Refers to the avenues that can be used to get historical information. It requires inter-disciplinary Sources of history approach in order to get the actual historical information. Therefore, the following are sources of history/historical knowledge: a) Oral tradition b) Historical sites c) Written records/documents d) Archives e) Museums f) Archeology g) Audio- visual record, e.g. Cassets, Cd’s, and TV programs etc. h) Anthropology i) Linguistics 1. ORAL TRADITION: This involves the passing information by word of mouth through talking and listening. Oral tradition passes historical information into two ways a) Through culture practices like art, music, religion, riddles, songs, proverbs, superstition, poems and stories. b) Narration of past events. FUNCTION OF ORAL TRADITION • It preserves historical information of society Page 2 of 224 • I t collects and pass historical information between generations in the society. • It helps researchers in data collection. ADVANTAGES OF ORAL TRADITION • It preserve and reveal historical information which are not recorded • Both illiterate and literate people can obtain historical information. • Within oral tradition, there are warning and teachings. • Is the easiest and cheapest method of obtaining information? • It is live source, since it involves physical interaction. DISADVANTAGES OF ORAL TRADITION 1. It needs much attention and power of memory 2. False information can be given by storyteller. 3. Narration of historical events are centered to those people of status i.e. Kings, Queens, Chief. White talking little about common society. 4. There is a language problem when narrator uses vernacular language. 5. It is difficult to distinguish what is real and what is imaginary information. 6. Translation is very difficult because some languages are no longer in existence. 3. HISTORICAL SITES: Are special places where by the past human remains can be found and shown to the public. It is a place where the remains of once lived human in the past can be found. 1. They comprise man’s physical development, tools that were made and used from time to time. 2. In these areas we find /see past human products and animal bones. Examples of historical sites in Tanzania include Isimila, Olduvai George, Kondoa Irangi, Bagamoyo, Zanzibar, Kilwa, Mafia, Engaruka, Kagera etc In Uganda Nsongezi, Biggo, Ntubi, Rusinga Island, Magosi and Ishago. In Kenya. Lake Rudolf (Turkana), Lake Naivasha, Njoro, Olongesailie, Lake Magadi, Lamu, Mombasa and mt. Kenya FUNCTIONS OF HISTORICAL SITES (a) Preserves historical information for the coming generations. (b) They are useful sources of information and to reconstruct history. (c) They are the symbols of social cultural heritage to the society concern past human tools, rock, paints etc ADVANTAGES OF HISTORICAL SITES 1. They help for practical historical learning e.g. through observation of past human tools, rock, paints. 2. Used to reveal past settlement patterns, levels of technology, economic development of political organization reached by the past societies. 3. Acts as centers of tourism. 4. They helps in transforming theoretical teaching of history to practical historical learning. 5. It acts as the resource centers to researchers. 6. It provides employment opportunities e.g.: guiders DISADVANTAGES OF HISTORICAL SITES Page 3 of 224 (i) It brings confusion to interpret the remains found in historical sites (ii) Many of historical sites are found on remote areas hence difficult for many people to visit them. 3. ARCHAEOLOGY: This refers to the scientific study of past human remain. It is the study of material remains of man’s past through scientific methods. The one specializes in archeology is called ARCHAEOLOGIST. Archaeology involves excavations (digging) of the remains of man’s past historical sites and interpretation. The famous archaeologist in East Africa was Dr. Louis Leaky with his wife Mary Leakey Archaeology involves the use of carbon 14 dating to determine plants and animal remains. FUNCTIONS OF ARCHAEOLOGY (a) Gives important information about man through different stages. (b) It is a useful method of revealing soil covered historical remains. (c) It arouse curiosity of searching past man historical information. ADVANTAGES OF ARCHAEOLOGY (a) It helps people to know when and how people lived in a certain place. (b) Past objects tell us about the life and culture of past people. (c) It helps us to know and reveal the technology, pastoral, agricultural and commercial activities of the past man. (d) Through excavation, we get knowledge of artifacts e.g. Pottery, building etc. (e) It reveals religious beliefs of the past man (f) We can compliment other sources of information through archaeology e.g. History (g) We can know the past relationship between different people such as trading activities, migration, marriage, birth, death and political relation. DISADVANTAGES OF ARCHAEOLOGY · It consumes time because of excavation. · It cannot reveal the past people’s language. · It cannot give out the out reasons for historical events such as wars. · It needs full experts and advanced technology. · Poorly interpreted remains can bring false information - It cannot tell anything about the past social organization 4. ARCHIVES: These are places where collection of public and private documents and old record are preserved. These documents includes personal letters, early travelers and missionary records, traders writings, personal and government files, political parties documents, etc. FUNCTIONS OF ARCHIVES • Archives preserve public and private records that have enduring value to the society. • The public makes the records in archives available for use. • However not all records can be viewed by everyone. • Archives collect records of enduring value from various places. For example, the nation archives have records from different regions of

ZIWOYA has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Claudia L. Hale Professor of Communication Studies Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT ZIWOYA, FLETCHER O. M., Ph.D. December 2012, Communication Studies Deliberation as an Epistemic Endeavor: UMunthu and Social Change in Malawi’s Political Ecology Director of Dissertation: Claudia Hale This dissertation examines the epistemic role of democratic processes in Malawi. In this study, I challenge the view that Malawi’s Local Government model of public participation is representative and open to all forms of knowledge production. Through a case study analysis of the political economy of knowledge production of selected District Councils in Malawi, I argue that the consultative approach adopted by the Councils is flawed. The Habermasian approach adopted by the Councils assumes that development processes should be free, fair, and accommodative of open forms of deliberation, consultation, and dissent. The Habermasian ideals stipulate that no single form of reasoning or knowledge dominates others. By advocating for “the power of the better argument” Habermas (1984, 1998a, 1998b, 2001) provided room for adversarial debate which is not encouraged in the Malawi local governance system.

  • Bigwala Mus Ic and Dance of the Bas Oga People
    BIGWALA MUSIC AND DANCE OF THE BASOGA PEOPLE written by James Isabirye 2012 Background The Basoga are Bantu speaking people who live in southeastern Uganda. They are neighbors to the Baganda, Bagwere, Basamia, Banyoli and Banyoro people. The Basoga are primarily subsistence agricultural people. "Bigwala” is a Lusoga language term that refers to a set of five or more monotone gourd trumpets of different sizes. The music of the trumpets and the dance performed to that music are both called “Bigwala”. Five drums accompany “Bigwala” music and they include a big drum “Engoma e ne ne ”, a long drum “Omugaabe,” short drum “Endyanga”, a medium size drum “Mbidimbidi” and a small drum “Enduumi ” each of which plays a specific role in the set. Bigwala heritage is of significant palace / royal importance because of its ritualistic role during burial of kings, coronations and their anniversaries and stands as one of the main symbols of Busoga kingship. When King Henry Wako M uloki passed away on 1st September 2008, the "Bigwala" players were invited to Nakabango palace and Kaliro burial ground to perform their funeral function. 1 During the coronation of late king Henry Wako Muloki on 11th February 1995; the Bigwala players performed their ritual roles. It is important to note that Busoga kingdom like all others had been abolished in 1966 by the Ugandan republic government of Obote I and all aspects its existence were jeopardised including the Bigwala. The Kingship is the only main uniting identity which represents the Basoga, offers them opportunity to exist in a value system, focuses their initiatives to deal with development issues with in the framework of their ethnic society and connects them to their cherished past.

  • The African Union in 2000, Both Aspects Gain Greater Importance on Regional Level
    The protection of human rights and popular participation on the fi rst sight seem to contradict Karin Deichmann the often-existing image of the African continent. However, with the foundation of the African Union in 2000, both aspects gain greater importance on regional level. Besides that, many subregional courts within the sphere of sub-Sahara Africa partially started to develop human rights-related jurisdiction. In addition to that, most regional economic communities nowadays Regional Integration, Human Rights and provide for their own parliamentary structures. The study aims to examine the several Democratic Participation in Africa institutional structures and their competences on both, regional and subregional level. Besides that, it provides for a profound analysis of the jurisdiction of the respective courts as well as the communications of the African Commission of Human and Peoples’ Rights. Lastly, the study focuses on the correlation between the extension of the institutions’ competences and the political will of the involved governments.

Box 10375, Nairobi 00100, Kenya; [email protected] 3 Institute of Hydraulics and Rural Water Management, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Muthgasse 18, 1190 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +43-676-43-808-26 Received: 8 August 2018; Accepted: 18 September 2018; Published: 20 September 2018 Abstract: Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on three principles: minimum soil disturbance, maintaining a soil cover through mulching with crop residues or planting cover crops, and practicing crop rotations. CA is practiced in many parts of the world for its benefits to soil and ability to improve yields, among others. There is little documented information on the status of CA adoption in the Lango region in mid-Northern Uganda. This study aimed at determining the extent of CA adoption in relation to the socioeconomic status of the farming population and suggesting relevant strategies for accelerating CA uptake specific to this region. A non-discriminative snowball-sampling technique was used to gather data from 417 households spread over three districts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using household questionnaires. Farmers’ uptake of CA was related to information gained from training and the benefits that were observed in their fields. Some farm-level constraints in the region included the diminutive ratio of shared tools and equipment; the minimum presence and involvement of extension services; and seasonal rural markets that are dominated by middlemen.

The end result of agricultural transformation in Uganda are millions of would be thriving small-, medium, and large-scale agribusinesses in every segment of agricultural value chains. In order to better understand the growth potentials and constraints of the agriculture sector and optimize its intervention in the sector, the Bank aims to conduct agricultural value chain study. The main tasks of the study are to prioritize, select and conduct a detailed value chains analysis of priority agricultural commodities. The findings of the study will serve as a guide to design the Ugandan Agricultural Transformation Agenda (UATA), investment direction of the Bank and other development partners. Promoting agriculture and agro-industry/business is recognized as one of the most effective ways to drive inclusive growth and reduce poverty. The African Development Bank (AfDB) is launching study that will inform the development of competitive regional and global value chains with the potential for advancing Uganda’s economic prosperity, increasing food security, job creation and poverty reduction. The study will also inform the Bank’s public sector operations towards creation of an enabling environment especially relating to land tenure policies and laws, financial inclusion efforts, and Private Public Partnerships in physical infrastructure development.

TANCOSS offered a choice between repatriation and naturalization to 220,000 Burundian refugees who had been living in three rural settlements in Western Tanzania (Ulyankulu, Katumba and Mishamo) since 1972. It was an unprecedented intervention and it garnered international attention and support (Milner 2014). Initially, obtaining citizenship was meant to be conditional on relocation away from the refugee settlements. This plan, however, was renounced, and ultimately those who opted for citizenship were permitted to remain on the land of the settlements.
