Samenvatting

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 author's third language, English, 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 a 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 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 fundamental hindrances to development. In a very intellectually persuasive way, he also generalizes that The Fourth Heritage can lead to a secular morality founded on Kant's philosophy which is in agreement with both the tribal culture and the western world. Lastly, in the appendix, Mr. Kirunda offers a thrilling discussion of the scientific account of humanity's origin in East Africa and what that means for the Ugandan human heritage.
