Surrounded is an ethnography of new colonialism: the informal, ignorable, subtle and seemingly benevolent ways through which new colonialism manifests. Unlike colonialism of the past, this new manifestation – running riot after the collapse of USSR – has been tactfully depoliticised.

Chanting free markets and democracy, they have ruined entire populations – and will resort to deadly violence in the name of democracy
What Died When We Lived is a telling book for Uganda’s contemporary circumstances. It ably grapples with those issues that Ugandan citizens find deeply troubling, with razor-sharp analysis, consummate wit, and magisterial wisdom.
