Series: Culture Smart!
There is a good reason why Uganda is called the Pearl of Africa. Beyond the ideal climate, abundant wildlife, and spectacular natural beauty, there is a strong and diverse cultural landscape. Drawn from more than twenty tribes, they represent a tapestry of traditions, ethnicities, and cultures. Culture Smart! Uganda reveals the human dimension of this enigmatic country. It provides a historical overview, explores Ugandan values and attitudes, and looks at the cultural continuity of festivals and traditions.
