The Bakonjo-Baamba and Uganda: colonial and postcolonial integration and ethnocide

Article Abstract:

Efforts to integrate and assimilate the Bakonjo and Baamba people of the Ruwenzori mountains in Uganda have been going on since the nineteenth century by the local dominant people. There are mixed reactions from the Bakonje-Baamba. These indigenous people struggled to get autonomy with the state trying to curb their activities with the excuse of nation-building and sometimes of a national security crisis. There has been steady erosion of the identity and power of the Bakonje-Baamba.

Discovering stable racial integration

Article Abstract:

Two methods of measuring racial integration have been applied to housing tracts in Florida. One method compares the composition of the housing tracts to the racial proportions in the country. The other projects the number of people expected to move into a tract by considering the cost of housing and distribution of each racial group within income class able to afford the housing.
