2 In colonizing Uganda, the British used Buganda as their base and Baganda (the people of Buganda) as their agents. Ugandans opposed the Baganda chiefs, and it is this legacy of anger against Baganda (and Buganda) that the authors point out as one of the challenges to Kiwanuka's political mobilization work.
