Abstract
In this book, Apter, a political scientist, analyzes the political structure of Buganda from an historical vantage. Apter characterizes Buganda as a 'modernizing autocracy' and proceeds to explore the influences of such an authority system on the processes of innovation and change. After a brief description of the social, economic and religious background of Buganda, the author traces the history of British administration in Uganda and the evolution of Buganda's political development under British rule. Although the main focus of the book centers on Buganda, there is much relevant information on Uganda.
