Product details
"Slow Poison: Idi Amin, Yoweri Museveni, and the Making of the Ugandan State" by Mahmood Mamdani is an upcoming historical analysis of Uganda's postcolonial trajectory, focusing on the dictatorships of Idi Amin and Yoweri Museveni. Set for release on October 14, 2025 (with some listings noting December 14), by Harvard University Press (Belknap Press imprint), the ebook (ASIN B0FF7JQQ9T) accompanies a 352-page hardcover. The ISBN-13 is 9780674299870 (ISBN-10: 0674299876).
Core Narrative
Mamdani, a Ugandan-born scholar at Columbia University, draws on personal experience from returning in 1972 amid Amin's violent rule, which expelled the Indian minority with Western backing. He contrasts Amin's populist Black nationalism, which retained domestic support despite global condemnation, with Museveni's four-decade reign marked by ethnic fragmentation, neoliberal reforms enriching his family, and unaccounted atrocities shielded as an anti-terror ally.
Scholarly Themes
The book critiques decolonization's failures, colonial legacies like indirect rule, and global powers' roles in exploiting Uganda. It portrays both leaders as embedding violence centrally but diverging in Western perceptions and outcomes, with Museveni embodying the "Washington Consensus
