| Abstract: | According to the author General Haji Idi Amin Dada is not a bizarre or maverick intrusion upon the Uganda political scene, but deeply and significantly entwined in it. He presents, diachronically, the most important interrelated factors in the conventional functional sense. Central to this interpretation is the fact that General Amin is a Nubi, and that the history of the Nubi is important for the understanding of contemporary events. Sections: the emergence of the Nubi - the Ganda contribution - the role of Obote - the end of the Ganda dream - the dialectic of events. Notes. |
