| Abstract: | This volume investigates the penetration and experience of Islam in Buganda, examines the patterns of Islamization in comparison with other regions, analyzes the causes which facilitated and enhanced the diffusion of Islam, and indicates the factors hindered its progress. Special attention has been given to the contact and conflict between the Muslim traders and the Christian missionaries. Finally, an attempt has been made to evaluate the influence of the Muslims on the history and development of Uganda, which was the centre for the diffusion of Islam throughout the area that later became known as Uganda. The historical framework of the volume extends from the early contacts between Buganda and the East African coast untill the death of Mutesa I in 1884, which year marked the end of a distinctive era in Buganda's history. |
