Rwandan Refugees In Southwestern Uganda: Their Attitudes and Responses to Repatriation 1994-2012

"Karooma has introduced to the reader a rare triangulation that espouses a variety of approaches to the study of Rwandan refugees' problem in Uganda. The intention, as evidenced in the book, is to allow the different approaches to open up different levels of understanding and interpreting the phenomenon. Sadly and unfortunately, the Rwandan refugees' problem is compounded by the historical whole, as explicated on this book. This is informed by the events that have taken place right from the genesis of the problem that culminated in the exodus of the first wave of Rwandan refugees in Uganda in 1959. The major ethnic groups of Tutsi minority and Hutu majority in Rwanda have had complex and deep-rooted divergences that have over time polarized them. It is against this backdrop that this book book facilitates a sober understanding of territorial problem in question." Professor Adrian R. Mwesigye, Mbarara University of Science and Technology
