Overview

Idi Amin’s crimes on behalf of Black empowerment in Uganda made him a monster in the world’s eyes. Yet Yoweri Museveni has enjoyed decades of Western support in exchange for adopting neoliberal policies and embracing the “war on terror.” An esteemed Ugandan scholar’s firsthand report, Slow Poison uncovers revealing ironies of postcolonial history.
