{UAH} Fwd: Uganda Sociologies - A collective Works

Sociology is about understanding : social structures, configuration or morphology (anatomy) . Though structures are invisible, they are understood (their effects) through social and agents (individuals) acts or actions. For example;

Children Upbringing

Low level of divorce in Africa

Strong family relations

Morality

Low levels of corruption, criminality in a given society vis vi another social structure etc,

That is what we are investigating in this works .

---------- Forwarded message ----------

I am writing a book an, "Introduction to Sociology - the African Society Perspective – the book will specifically focus on definite areas where our various Uganda cultures and customs have key social, environmental and religious, health advantages. 

The book is a collective effort, since Uganda has enormous wealth of cultural and social-environmental related authentic resources. It is these imperatives which make it difficult to individually write about Uganda and as such African sociologies since they are numerous and many with varying degrees of usefulness.

If you offer to make a contribution observe the following: a). That your article will be put into a public forum and call for critical analysis before it is accepted, b). that you will provide us with your CV, c). that you grew and lived among Ugandans or for that matter African for at least 25 years. d). that what you write is not based on hearsay but rather on concrete evidence and that you can prove it. e). besides comparison, the content and context must be typical Ugandan, or for that matter authentically your society background.  

The works is scientific i.e. it Is based on empirically proved data that can either be measured using parametric or non-parametric method. Areas of para-medicine, psychology, will have to be referenced with concrete evidence, as in case of fracture or bone rehabilitation, mental curing, environment etc.

If you pick a section: inform me and send me your complete CV.  Then I will send a draft and then
