D University of Pittsburgh, 2020 This dissertation project is a historical and analytical examination of how popular music has participated in the transformation of Uganda’s public sphere into a more participatory space since the early 1990s. Popular music has rendered previously marginalized publics audible and visible. By marginalized, I refer to the trivialization of the social aspirations of collectivities by the state or the dominant public. By publics, I refer to collectivities that exchange information, debate ideas, and advocate for change in physical and virtual spaces.
