What is the Source of Power? : A Case of the Evangelized Witch in Eastern Uganda (original) (raw)

This paper explores the complex dynamics surrounding the figure of ACK, an influential person in eastern Uganda who navigated the intersection of traditional beliefs and modernity. Through detailed ethnographic accounts, the study highlights the ambivalence present in local perceptions of ACK, who is seen as both a benefactor and a figure of fear due to his associations with land acquisition and the implications of witchcraft. The research underscores the significance of cultural context in shaping the narratives of power and the responses of communities grappling with the legacies of such figures.
