By Okot P’Bitek
From African Women Rising: Song of Lawino is an epic poem and one of the most widely read literary works from Sub-Saharan Africa. The author comes from Acholiland in northern Uganda. It tells the story of how African society was destroyed by colonization. Every child in Uganda has to read this book. It is a good read.
By Matthew Green
From African Women Rising: A good explanation of the civil war in northern Uganda, a bit Eurocentric but an easy read.
Films
Recommended by African Women Rising. From Amazon: As the evil Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives an unforgettable performance in The Last King of Scotland. Powerfully illustrating the terrible truth that absolute power corrupts absolutely, this fictionalized chronicle of Amin’s rise and fall is based on the acclaimed novel by Giles Foden, in which Amin’s despotic reign of terror is viewed through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a Scottish doctor who arrives in Uganda in the early 1970s to serve as Amin’s personal physician.
From African Women Rising: War Dance is a documentary depicting life for three children in northern Uganda as they were living in camps for internally displaced. It is a well-done documentary, maybe a bit too polished at times, but with scenery from the north and music and dancing from the Acholi people.
