During the 1890s, the Scramble for Africa created the new country of Uganda. This inland territory carved out by British agents first encompassed some 20-30 African kingdoms. Anthony Low's magisterial study examines how and why the British were able to dominate these rulerships and establish a colonial government.

This book analyses the many attempts in Asia and Africa in the third quarter of the twentieth century to create egalitarian rural societies, their failure, and the differentiated rural regimes which, despite landlord abolition, remain there to this day.
