The History of Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) and Her Place in the Study of the Social Sciences in Africa
JHEA/RESA Vol. 11, Nos 1&2, 2013, pp. 121–142 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa 2014 (ISSN 0851–7762) The History of Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) and her Place in the Study of the Social Sciences in Africa Stanley Baluku Bakahinga Mbalibulha*1 Abstract Following the research steps of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute which started in 1937, three new research institutes were formed in the British Empire viz. The East African Institute of Social Research (later re-named Makerere Institute of Social Research [MISR]); The West African Institute of Social Research (WAISER) and the West Indies Institute of Social Research (WIISR). This expansion in knowledge production had its own logic and history as well as links to the deepening studies in social sciences, especially anthropology. Over the years, the Institute at Makerere has continued with a fledgling relationship with Makerere University with which it shares a history since 1948. We attempt to place the institute within a history; a history of social science knowledge production; a history of an endogenous institute attempting to attain indigeneity and space. Résumé Pour emboiter le pas en matière de recherche à l’Institut Rhodes-Livingstone qui a vu le jour en 1937, trois nouveaux instituts de recherche ont été créés dans l’empire britannique. Il s’agit de l’Institut Est-africain de recherche en sciences sociales (plus tard rebaptisé l’Institut de Recherche en Sciences Sociales de l’Université Makerere [MISR]); L’Institut ouest-africain de recherche en sciences sociales (WAISER) et de l’Institut des Antilles pour la recherche en sciences sociales (WIISR). -

There were eight changes of government within a period of twenty-four years (from 1962-1986), five of which were violent and unconstitutional. This paper identifies factors that account for these recurrent episodes of political violence and state collapse. -
Uganda Asian Refugees and Expellees in Los Angeles
45?-O UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I LIBRARY UGANDA ASIAN REFUGEES AND EXPELLEES IN LOS ANGELES, THE AMERICAN EL DORADO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES MAY 2005 BY Sham M. Chitnavis Dissertation Committee: Floyd Matson, Chairperson William Chapman Dennis Ogawa Katharine Tehranian Jagdish Sharma 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My late father Madhukar, mother Asha, and brother Hemant have been the key figures behind my success. The poverty, pain, disappointments, hopes, desires, naivete, values, compromises and sacrifices of my parents have spurred me on consistently. I would like to thank the late Mr. Mahipat R. Pundya of Daman, Gujrat, India. He taught me English in Uganda. Uncle Kamlakar Chitnavis and family and especially cousin Manoj (all from U.K.) have been following my progress all along and shown considerable pride and joy in my achievements. The following have indispensably contributed to my dissertation by rendering both oral and written answers: Asha Chitnavis, Hemant Chitnavis (both from La Puente), Zainul Kanji (Irvine) gave answers to two of the three key chapters, Tina Kotecha (Diamond Bar), and Manilal Padhiar (Huntington Beach). The following made a contribution by rendering some written answers only: Aynullah Bhimani (Whittier), Praful Chandarana (Diamond Bar), Ashwin Patel (Huntington Beach), brothers Manilal and Shashi (Huntington Beach), and Rasik Sudra (Van Nuys) answered 2-3 questions. However, Prakash Chandarana (Diamond Bar), Tina Kotecha (Diamond Bar), brothers Pankaj and Raju Padhiar (Garden Grove), Ashok Pradhan (Walnut), and Dr. Janak Raval (Rancho Palos Verdes), answered all or the majority ofquestions pertaining to the three key chapters. -
Makerere the University Is Born
1 Makerere the University is Born Ever since it opened its doors with 14 boys and 5 instructors in 1922, Makerere, as seat of higher learning in East and Central Africa, has been in constant change. It started as a simple Technical School established by the Department of Education under the British Protectorate Government; appropriately located on a hill with a name which, according to legend, connotes daybreak. According to one version of the tale (and there could be several other versions), the hill we now know as Makerere was once a scene where history involving love and royalty was made. Some traditionalists believe the incident occurred during the reign of King Jjuuko in the late seventeenth Century. Legend has it that King Jjuuko had an eye for beautiful women and when he was told of a dazzlingly beautiful girl, Nalunga, living on the other side of the hill now called Makerere, he decided to go and look for her alone on foot. Traditionally, kings were not supposed to be seen walking around on foot in public. They had to be carried on the backs of special court servants. King Jjuuko had to sneak out of the palace in the dark of the night. Unfortunately, dawn found him on top of the hill now known as Makerere. In frustration the king exclaimed, “Oh, it is dawn”. Henceforth, the hill took on the name Makerere – the dawn of King Jjuuko. By coincidence, the British Protectorate Government chose to build an institution of higher learning on the same hill, in preference to Bombo, which signalled the dawn of new knowledge for Uganda and Africa. -
Reimagining Global Governance2014 Welcome to the CIVICUS State of Civil Society Report 2014
state of civil society report Reimagining Global Governance2014 Welcome to the CIVICUS State of Civil Society Report 2014. This year’s edition brings our attention to the state of global governance. As always, the State of Civil Society Report is written by civil society, for civil society. This report draws on contributions from more than 30 of the world’s leading experts on civil society as well as on inputs from our members, partners, supporters and others in the global CIVICUS alliance. This diverse group of contributors are thought leaders in their own right and eminent voices at the forefront of reimagining global governance and cit- izen action. The varied contributions highlight changing global political dynamics, an emerging disillusionment with global frameworks of governance and a fundamental lack of accountability within international decision-making. The report also contains the findings of a pilot project, based on research conducted with more than 450 civil society organisations, which assesses how well intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) engage civil society. We believe that the report represents a body of critical thinking on the changing state of contemporary civil soci- ety and global governance. We would like to thank everyone involved for their efforts and continuing support. CIVICUS wishes to express our gratitude to the contributors, donors, editors, staff members and designers.
