While I did not agree with all of the authors' viewpoints, particularly the ones who seemed to think that the problem with society is women wanting equality, overall this was a good read. Most of the authors wrote entertaining articles. I get that the idea was kind of comparing the way things used to be how they are now in Uganda. This book did really make me want to travel to Uganda, because most of the writers made it sound so beautiful. Not all of the articles harbored internalized misogyny, but those that did were a little off putting. I did appreciate how the authors gave reasoning behind their beliefs. Overall I enjoyed most of these essays. I give it a 3.5 (rounded up to a 4) for being an insightful read.

This is a great collection of stories about how the culture in Uganda has changed in recent years. The western impact on life and culture has been very strong, and many old traditions have become less and less important to urban people. It is nice to read these stories, because the people who gets heard in these stories have seen how things have changed very fast, too fast. It was really nice to hear about the old traditions and values.

I enjoyed this collection of stories, and it was interesting to read since I have just visited Uganda, and this strengthened my views in many ways. An important book for people in Uganda to understand and see how much and how fast life is changing. Is it for the better or for worse?
