HOW TO WRITE ABOUT LAWLESSNESS IN UGANDA by Godwin Muwanguzu
How to Write About Lawlessness in Uganda is a provocative reflection on the role of the writer in societies where injustice has become ordinary and silence is rewarded. Drawing on Uganda’s political realities and the rich tradition of African protest literature, Godwin Muwanguzi argues that writing is not merely an artistic pursuit but a moral responsibility.
Rejecting the idea that literature should remain neutral in the face of oppression, the book explores the relationship between power, language, truth, and freedom of expression. It challenges writers to resist censorship, expose injustice, and preserve the stories that authoritarian systems seek to erase.
Part literary manifesto, part political essay, How to Write About Lawlessness in Uganda is an urgent call for writers to reclaim their voices and affirm the enduring power of words as instruments of conscience, memory, and social change.
