This is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about the African tribal mind and its interpretation of the world as dominated by Eurocentric ideals. In a brutally honest and yet reflective writing, Mr. Kirunda offers his critique with a uniquely African perspective. Written in the authors third languageEnglish this book attempts to use simple yet powerful reasoning to advocate a paradigm shift in the way Ugandans look at their Tribal, Religious and European/Colonial heritages. In an analytical and creative style rare to many African writings, Mr. Kirunda vividly describes his tribal life and the impact his parents had on his worldview. He then offers an unusually cold and intimate analysis of: the cultural confusion within the Uganda society, his personal hypothesis of why the Americans, Germans and Japanese are economically and intellectually developed, the two hindrances to development in Uganda, and his personal creative proposal of The Fourth Heritage as a way to integrate the triple heritages and also solve the two hindrances. Lastly, he generalizes his thesis to accommodate Kantian moral philosophies and offers a thrilling discussion of the scientific account of humanitys origin in East Africa and what that means for our human heritage.
The Fourth Republic by Kirunda stands out as one of the most original works rendered towards lifting the weight of tribalism and groupthink off the shoulders of a static and stagnant society. . . The propositions offer each Ugandan citizen the Chwezi dream. This dream has a foundation rooted in clearing the path for prosperity for each individual, shaped by the promises of their imagination. The Chwezi dream, promises to liberate Ugandans from the shackles of tribalism, poverty, ignorance, religious divisiveness and cultural conflicts. My hope is for this message to reach every Ugandan and African particularly those leading or aspiring to lead our nations in the coming years.
