Description

This remarkable, wide-ranging book is an insightful intellectual history of Makerere University and a welcome rejoinder to Uganda’s political leaders, who routinely disparage the academic study of the humanities. Historicising the Humanities shows how, over time, humanistic scholarship has shaped public life. The distinguished group of authors unpack the changing logic of the university curriculum with care and confidence, but this book is anything but a mundane exercise in bureaucratic recollection. The authors show how Uganda’s disparate people have made claims on the university, demanding access to knowledge that could advance projects and arguments outside the university’s gates. More than other universities, Makerere has never been an ivory tower, isolated from the pressures of real life. To the contrary: in different registers, in different disciplinary homes, and using different methods, Makerere scholars and students have created knowledge that responded to the demands of the moment.
