Preface

My interest in the role of ideology in politics originated when I was a graduate student in the African Studies Programme at Uganda’s Makerere University College. Many of the ideas in this book were developed through conversation with the faculty and students at Makerere in 1967-1968. Two years later I returned to Uganda as an Associate of the Makerere Institute of Social Research and a staff member in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. Profound changes in government policies had taken place in the interim that made this second visit opportune for a social scientist interested in ideologies of modernization. Although the early years after independence were marked by restraint at the normative level, after 1969 the Obote regime increasingly relied on ideology as a major agent for initiating social change. The president published a series of documents, known as the Move to the Left, designed to inaugurate socialism in Uganda. But Obote’s attempt to launch a modernizing ideology failed miserably and was ultimately superseded by the Amin-led coup of January 1971. These events give rise to the central question of this book: why did ideology fail in Uganda? The purpose is also to draw conclusions regarding theory-building and African politics. A great deal has been written about the concept of ideology. The premise here is that values play an important role in social change. However, to argue the primacy of ideology would be grossly to exaggerate its impact. With ideology, there is an element of what Marx called “false consciousness.” Ideology justifies. An ideology of modernization may guide the implementation of policy, but it also serves the interests of certain socioeconomic formations. In order to study ideology in low income countries, it is essential

to take account of dependency relations. When efforts to introduce

12

PREFACE

new norms and to harmonize norms with changes in the political system are evaluated,

the pervasive integration of world market

forces and the economies of Third World countries must be kept in mind. The success or failure of a new ideology is often determined by external forces that not only penetrate the economies of these countries but may even have effective veto power over social change. Thus, my examination of a would-be modernizing ideology in Uganda directs attention to the social and economic concentrations linked to, or opposed to, normative values. Nevertheless, the major purpose of this work is not to analyze dependency relations between world market forces and Uganda. Nor is the foremost emphasis on class analysis. Though I firmly believe that prevalent distinctions between political and economic variables are misleading, I make no pretense of delving into all the issues of political economy and capitalist development. My focus on ideology is intended to complement those works that primarily stress dependency and class. In writing about underdevelopment in Uganda, I have retained the conventional vocabulary: “developing nations,” “less developed countries,” the “Third World,” “low income countries,” and “nonWestern areas.” These familiar terms are used interchangeably to avoid tedious repetition of any single word or phrase. I recognize that such terms are euphemisms that neglect the rise of imperialism and the generation of dependent and subordinate economies by the development of capitalism. When they appear in this text, they will always mean underdeveloped societies; the fundamental reality is that advanced, capitalist societies have played a major role in producing underdevelopment in Africa, Asia, and Latin America . While the discussion often mentions classes and elites, these terms are not interchangeable. “Class” refers to the relationship of members of a group to the means of production, whereas “elite” denotes social status. The relationship between the two is that elites are appendages of a class or classes. Tribalism and ethnicity are treated in the Introducti on, and it should be noted that I follow the names and prefix es of social groups used most frequently by Ugandans themselves in local languages. Thus, “Baganda” refers to the major group occupying Buganda (Uganda’s heartland area), “Muganda” to one person, and

PREFACE

13

“Luganda” to the language; “Ganda” and “kiganda” are adjectival forms used in describing the customs or habits of the Baganda. A final point of clarification—I fully realize that writing on Uganda in early 1975 presents difficulties. The full effects of Amin’s rule are not yet apparent, and a surfeit of rumors circulate. While visiting East Africa in late 1973 and early 1974, I was able to check some of these reports and to gather new data. Ugandans passing through New York and sources at the United Nations have also provided valuable information. However, this book does not attempt a journalistic account of recent events. Reports that cannot be verified are necessarily omitted. I extend grateful appreciation to many colleagues, students, and organizations who aided my endeavors. The intellectual and financial resources of several institutions contributed greatly to my work. I acknowledge support from the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Makerere University, Kampala, the Center for International Studies at Cornell University, the Council for Research in the Social Sciences at Columbia University, and the National Science Foundation. Permission for the use of my previously published works, which appear in slightly different form, was provided by Africa Quarterly, Afro-American Studies, the Munger Africana Monograph Series, and Studies in Race and Nations (University of Denver Center on International Race Relations Monograph Series). I have also drawn on material originally presented in papers delivered to the Universities of East Africa Social Science Conference (Dar es Salaam, 1973), the African Studies Association (Syracuse, 1973; Chicago, 1974), and the Conference on Civilian Control of the Military: Myth and Reality in Developing Countries (Buffalo, 1974). The frontispiece of this book is adapted from a map in Donald Stewart Ferguson, “An Economic Appraisal of Tick-borne Disease Control in Tropical Africa,” an unpublished doctoral dissertation, Cornell Univer-

the International African Institute and Oxford University Press; it

is from the chapter by Clive Criper and Peter Ladefoged, “Linguistic Complexity in Uganda,” in W. H. Whiteley, ed., Language

Use and Social Change: Multilingualism

with Special

Reference to Eastern Africa (London, 1971), p. 148. My intellectual debts to students and colleagues are so numerous that I cannot acknowledge all of them individually. A number of colleagues in the Department of Political Science and the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University offered helpful suggestions. For assisting my research, I thank Barbara Korngold, Neville Choonoo, and Cyrus Veeser, whose services were indispensable.

I am

indebted to Michael

Schultheis, who generously

shared his materials and insights on recent events in Uganda, and to Godfrey Uzoigwe and Mark Kesselman for their perceptive criticism of individual chapters of this book. Sincere thanks go to Howard Wriggins and Ali Mazrui, who read and commented on the book in its entirety. I am deeply grateful to my good friend and former teacher, Kenneth W. Grundy, for correcting and improving my work; his efforts have provided a lesson in the true meaning of friendship. Above all, I express my appreciation to Linda Yarr for her intellectual independence and social priorities; she was of immeasurable help in writing this book. The influence of friends and colleagues has been so great that these acknowledgments do not do justice to their contributions. All errors of fact or interpretation that remain despite their efforts are entirely my own responsibility. The point of departure for the analysis that follows is a value judgment. This book treats one aspect of the overriding need to transform the inequitable distribution of power and wealth in the world political economy. As an American writing about the Third World, I am increasingly aware that transformation in underdeveloped areas is inexorably tied to transformation in advanced, capitalist societies. JAMES H.

oe small and complex African sae extokis itscratiadie and a form of modernity isanalyzed in this authoritative study, Professor

Ronen examines the historical background and social structure of

Dahomey and traces its evolution from colony to independent republic

_ in order to clarify the reasons behind itsnotorious political instability and numerous coups d’état. He depicts a country where traditional values often conflict with Western-induced policies, a country where political modernization has failed. He believes that instead of trying to

_ change their people to fit the system, developing countries like

Dahomey must discover and build on their own traditional local

realities.
