This book has sought to resuscitate the power, breadth, and conflicting cross-currents of Benedicto Kiwanuka's and the Democratic Party's political project in independence-era Uganda. Although grounded in the Catholic community, Kiwanuka's cosmopolitan project moved beyond a sectarian defence of Catholic interests toward a broader commitment to a ‘gospel of democracy’ that could challenge entrenched sociopolitical hierarchies in the name of DP's credos of truth and justice (Chapter 1). Yet the success of DP's Catholic nationalist project varied regionally. In Tesoland (Chapter 2), DP's centralising project proved largely impotent in the face of the egalitarian republicanism of Cuthbert Obwangor, the Catholic face of UPC in eastern Uganda. In contrast, DP found common cause with politically marginalised groups in western Uganda, whether Bafumbira and Bakiga communities in Kigezi, Rwenzururu patriots in Toro, or anti-Ganda Nyoro patriots looking to recover the ‘Lost Counties’ for Bunyoro (Chapter 3). Although it primarily advocated for democracy over hereditary monarchy, DP could prove flexible even on this point. Ankole remained a DP stronghold in part due to an alliance between Catholic Bairu peasants and the ruling Protestant omugabe, over and against an expanding Protestant class of elites (Chapter 4). Whether in Teso or Toro, DP's UPC rivals organised not just around anti-Catholicism, but also in response to lingering resentment of historical Ganda aggression and resistance to Ganda privilege in postcolonial Uganda. In this sense, our study demonstrates the importance of bringing multifaceted, regional lenses to late colonial history in Uganda rather than the Ganda-centric and southern perspectives that have often dominated earlier analyses of this era.
