Abstract
This article consists of chapters 7 and 8 in the symposium on immigrant labor in Buganda. The author was the Director of the East African Institute of Social Research when she carried out this sociological study of the process of assimilation of immigrants (chiefly Ruanda, Rundi, Lulu and Lughara) into the native society. The first part of the study analyzes the attitude of the Ganda and the immigrant groups toward each other, and delineates the various avenues whereby the immigrants are assimilated into the social, economic and political structure of Ganda society. Supplementary information on immigrant crime rate as compared with the Ganda is provided by A. B. Mukwaya. The last part of the study reviews the problems of immigration control, settlement of immigrants on native land, and labor supply in agriculture and industry, and suggests means of solving them.
