Jimmy Spire Ssentongo is a Ugandan academic (in Philosophy), cartoonist, and activist.
His other books include Living with Others (2024); What I Saw When I Died (2021); Quarantined (2021); Inquiry into a Withering Heritage (2010); and Unconformable Laughter (2020).
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. Certainly, the truth-deniers will have a hard time creating a persuasive counter-narrative. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo has given us a gem: It is an exemplar of decolonial dissent.
– J. Oloka-Onyango
As the reader turns the pages of this volume, working through each section and article, it becomes clear that the responsibility for the transformation of Uganda – the country, state and society – lies squarely on the shoulders of all Ugandans. The call is clear: all Ugandans must become activists for change.
– Dr. Bishop Zac Niringiye
