I have received scholarly support and encouragement from Nelson Kasfir and Paul Kaiser, both of whom reviewed the first chapter, and Ron Kassimir, who helped clear ambiguities in the early stages of conceptualizing the main ideas for the book. The painstaking and meticulous work of Judi Pinckney of the Public Affairs Department has been truly invaluable. I could not have done without the secretarial support of Carmen Lowe, who stuck with the project even after leaving Roanoke College. At different stages of my research, the following student assistants have contributed to this work: Cindi Root, Anne Roemer, Erin Grant, Adiyah Ali, Carrie Krug, Sarah Teitt, Kelli Goad, David Drebes, Nick Slijepcevic, Natalie Gessert, Amanda Dennis, and, most importantly, Allison Barlow. In particular, I am indebted to Pat Scott, Stan Umberger, Becky Heller, and the staff of the Fintel Library. I am, therefore, grateful for all the support provided by Roanoke College since then. This work grew out of the research started during my sabbatical leave in Uganda, during the fall of 1998. This not only makes for a multifarious political narrative but is also a process with insightful lessons for the continent. And the people’s search for the ultimate cure for the African political virus is unending. The Ugandan state has died, been buried, and resurrected. It is a country with multiple ethnicities and traditional political systems. Uganda provides a laboratory of inordinate magnitude for a discourse on the intricacies concerning power, its use and misuse. The indelible mark left on the peoples and political cultures of Africa by these intrusions, fused with their own specific political experience, combine to provide the context for my analysis. I refer to changes imposed on African states by imperial powers and perpetuated by a global structure of dominance. Inevitably, therefore, this is also a book about the complex notion of power as it relates to political systems that have undergone multiple identity changes over time. The basis of gaining such a right has been and continues to be contested. N Africa, elections have not settled the question of who should exercise power and how to acquire the right to rule.
