LAHOUEL B. Members of the Jury: - Dr. B. Belmekki – President - Dr. A. Bahous – Examiner - Dr. L. Moulfi – Examiner Academic Year 2010/2011 On this special day, I wish you were here with us sharing this important moment of my life. On this special day, I wish you were here with us to thank you for encouraging me. On this special day, I wish you were here with us so that my mother’s happiness would be complete. On this special day I wish you were here with us to show you that all the sacrifices you made for us; your nephews and nieces, paid off. Unfortunately, this can never happen. Your sudden departure left us with a deep void impossible to fill. Since that horrible day, life became tasteless. You were more than an uncle, you were like a father to us and now you are gone forever. Dear uncle, On this special day I raise my hands to God and hope He would grant you His mercy and give us the courage to carry on life without you by our sides. To God we belong and to Him we return. i First of all, I would like to dedicate this work to my family for their warm support. To my beloved parents who have always been there for me with their love and encouragement. To my sister who has always given me unequivocal support, and to my brothers who have always encouraged me. I also dedicate this work to my aunt and her husband who have the cutest kids one can have; the greedy Younes, the cunning Ayoub and Raouda the little princess. To my friends Ziri Saïd (Réda), Touta Rezzoug Houari and Osamnia Adbelkrim. To Djellabet Mohammed, Beloud Yacine, Mesbah Dahou and Naib Amina. To Bousboua Mohammed and Fillali Aboubaker, may God grant them his mercy. To all my students. A special dedication to Serir Hadj Mohammed who has been of great help and who I am deeply indebted to. And Finally, I would like to dedicate this work to a special person who has been of great help too, and who always brings happiness wherever she goes. Madjid Fadéla, I dedicate this work to you. ii ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY IN UGANDA (1840s – 1900s) CONTENTS In Memory Dedication Acknowledgements List of maps List of Acronyms INTRODUCTION.............................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER ONE: Road to Uganda (1844 - 1879).............................................................. 5 1) An Overview of 19th century East Africa................................................................. 6 2) Arabs’ venture and settlement in Uganda................................................................ 9 3) Explorers and the search for the Nile source............................................................ 14 4) Christian Missionaries.............................................................................................. 26 a- The Christian Missionary Society...................................................................... 26 b- The White Fathers.............................................................................................. 30 CHAPTER TWO: Religion and Politics (1879 – 1880s)................................................... 35 1) Traditional Religion.................................................................................................. 36 2) Pre-colonial Political System.................................................................................... 38 3) Indigenous Education............................................................................................... 42 4) Muslim and Christian Interference........................................................................... 47 a- The Muslims........................................................................................................ 48 b- The Christians..................................................................................................... 52 5) Trouble at the Court.................................................................................................. 56 6) Politico-religious Groupings..................................................................................... 59 7) Threat to the Kabaka’s Power.................................................................................. 61 a- The Muslim Martyrdom (1874-1876)................................................................. 62 b- Mutesa and The White Fathers........................................................................... 64 c- The Christian martyrdom (1885-1887)............................................................... 65 CHAPTER THREE: The Beginning of the End (1790s – 1900s)...................................... 72 1) Muslim-Christian Coup-d’état.................................................................................. 73 2) Catholic / Protestant Alliance.................................................................................... 75 3) The Anglo-German Rivalry in East Africa............................................................... 79 4) Captain Lugard in Uganda........................................................................................ 85 5) Muslim Rebellion and the British Protectorate......................................................... 96 6) Colonial Rule and Missionaries................................................................................. 102 a- The Mill Hill Fathers........................................................................................... 103 b- The Muslim Rebellion, 1897............................................................................... 108 7) The Uganda Agreement............................................................................................ 114 CONCLUSION................................................................................................................... 118 APPENDICES.................................................................................................................... 120 BIBLIGRAPHY................................................................................................................. 140 GLOSSARY........................................................................................................................ 146 It would not have been possible to write this thesis without the help and support of the kind people around me, to only some of whom it is possible to give particular mention here.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.

  • A Study of Ethnographic Collecting and Display
    Material Cultures of Imperialism in Eastern Africa, c.1870–1920: A Study of Ethnographic Collecting and Display Alison Bennett UCL PhD History 1 This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. I, Alison Bennett, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This dissertation examines the entangled relationship between ethnographic collecting and early British imperial expansion in present-day Uganda and neighbouring parts of Kenya. Between 1870 and 1920, thousands of objects from this region were accessioned by British museums and their colonial counterparts in eastern Africa. However, historians and curators alike know remarkably little about the contexts of their acquisition. Histories of the colonial period in Uganda and Kenya have rarely engaged with these crucial material sources, relying instead upon methodologies that privilege the textual and oral archive. Meanwhile in museum histories and displays, objects from eastern Africa are eclipsed by material culture from western Africa and Egypt. By combining close object analysis with archival and visual material, and by drawing on theoretical approaches to material culture from anthropology, this thesis reassembles the rich and complex histories of this important material archive for the first time. In doing so, it reveals the significant material underpinnings of both imperial and counter-imperial activity in the region. Focusing on a variety of different collectors ranging from colonial officials to missionaries, local leaders and museums, it shows that collecting was a pivotal tool for mediating different encounters, relationships, identities, and power structures within colonial society.

  • European Travel Writing on Somaliland: the Rhetoric of Empire and the Emergence of the Somali Subject
    European travel Writing on Somaliland: the rhetoric of Empire and the emergence of the Somali subject Jamal Gabobe Subjectivity is one of those slippery concepts that can have different meanings in different contexts. The Oxford English Dictionary has numerous entries for it, including “The mind, as the ‘subject’ in which ideas inhere; that to which all mental representations or operations are attributed; the thinking or cognizant agent; the self or ego.”1 The same dictionary provides this additional explanation of the origin and use of the word subjective in modern philosophy: “The tendency in modern philosophy after Descartes to make the mind’s consciousness of itself the starting-point of enquiry led to the use of subjectum for the mind or ego considered as the subject of all knowledge, and since Kant this has become the general philosophical use of the word (with its deriva- tives subjective, etc.).” Subjectivity is identified with a more intense consciousness of oneself as an individual and in this sense is a mark of modernity.2 Domination attempts to produce certain kinds of subjects and par- ticular types of behavior depending on the overall context. Colonial subjectivity is a form of subjectivity produced in a colonial setting. It is characterized by a heightened consciousness of one’s colonial situation and the constraints imposed by it. Of course, domination also produces resistance in one form or another, covert or overt, and it is in the inter- action between these two crisscrossing currents that colonial subjectiv- ity is produced. Even when the direct colonial situation comes to an end, colonial subjectivity continues to exist in the form of post-colonial subjectivity.

  • Political Theologies in Late Colonial Buganda
    POLITICAL THEOLOGIES IN LATE COLONIAL BUGANDA Jonathon L. Earle Selwyn College University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Preface This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It does not exceed the limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of History. i Abstract This thesis is an intellectual history of political debate in colonial Buganda. It is a history of how competing actors engaged differently in polemical space informed by conflicting histories, varying religious allegiances and dissimilar texts. Methodologically, biography is used to explore three interdependent stories. First, it is employed to explore local variance within Buganda’s shifting discursive landscape throughout the longue durée. Second, it is used to investigate the ways that disparate actors and their respective communities used sacred text, theology and religious experience differently to reshape local discourse and to re-imagine Buganda on the eve of independence. Finally, by incorporating recent developments in the field of global intellectual history, biography is used to reconceptualise Buganda’s late colonial past globally. Due to its immense source base, Buganda provides an excellent case study for writing intellectual biography. From the late nineteenth century, Buganda’s increasingly literate population generated an extensive corpus of clan and kingdom histories, political treatises, religious writings and personal memoirs. As Buganda’s monarchy was renegotiated throughout decolonisation, her activists—working from different angles— engaged in heated debate and protest.
