'...In essence, this is a comprehensive study which makes important arguments regarding African historical demography, political ecology, colonial gender relations and political and economic change in Bunyoro.' - Holly Hanson in 'Journal of African History'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------'Environmental and East African historians will appreciate the challenges inherent in the reconstruction of Africa's demographic past. Doyle furthers our understanding of complexities of demographic transitions in African societies by offering a clearly written and well-researched case study of an important East African kingdom. 'Crisis & Decline in Bunyoro' successfully illustrates how demography is influenced by politics, economics, disease, environmental conditions and, ultimately, personal choice.' - Heather Hoag in the 'International Journal of African Historical Studies'.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'This work is a welcome and salutary history of colonial loss and decline that incorporates colonial politics and policy, but goes beyond to focus on demographics, disease and environment. ...Highly recommended.' - R. R. Atkins in 'Choice'
