"This book is the first major undertaking at Makerere University to critically do a self-assessment of a major discipline. It fits in with Makerere's centennial celebrations. While Makerere began as a technical college, it soon embraced Humanities in its march to greatness. Secondly, the book comes at a historic time when Humanities are experiencing relative turmoil. The book makes its point, that to understand and advance humanities and human endeavour in its complexity, the world needs the complementarity of both natural sciences and the humanities."--Page 4 of cover.
