Abstract of Review
Title:Imperialism and Fascism in Uganda by Mahmood Mamdani
Reviewer:Jeff Crisp
Location: Vol.11 No.31 (Winter 1984), pp108-110
Mahmood Mamdani is one of a select group of scholars who have persisted in the attempt
to bring coherent analysis to the increasingly violent complexities of recent Ugandan
politics. In this publication he concentrates on the period 1971 to 1979, claiming
that it is 'the first book to make a serious and unsensational study of the Amin
regime and to explain the reasons why it survived so long'.

Facts about Oluwombo
Nabendeh Wamoto
Recently, I was listening to one of the FM radio Stations, where an expatriate Chef
(names withheld) was explaining
how "Oluwombo" a very delicious local dish is prepared.
The Chef erroneously stated that Oluwombo has been around in Uganda for about 50 years
now. I did not have telephone facilities at the time and gave the Chef benefit of
doubt due to the fact that she is a non-Ugandan hence probably does not know much
about our history. It is not true that Oluwombo is only 50 years old.
Oluwombo, a Kiganda dish was first introduced 1 15 years ago
in 1887 during the reign of Kabaka Mwanga by his then
head cook, Kawunta. It used to be served to the Kabaka?s
important guest and Chiefs. It has since become very popular
among Ugandans. It can be preapred with chicken, goat, beef,
groundnuts mixed with mushrooms and even pork.
Take newly cut banana leaves and scrap the veins. Hold the
leaves over a fire, which should contain some banana peels.
The smoke will bleach the leaves and give them a smokey
flavour. Then fold them carefully without cracking them so that
they can hold the ingredients. Place your ingredients in the
leaves with some salt and a little water. Suggestions for
ingredients are smoked chicken pieces, tomatoes etc. Take a
large saucepan and pack it with more chopped banana stalk,
banana leaves and some water. Place the prepared Oluwombo
inside and cover it with more leaves. Place the saucepan
over a fire and cook for approximately one hour. Serve while
hot.
