![]() ![]() ![]() This allegorical reading ignores one of the several interesting tangents of the novel – the deployment of corporal punishment as a child-rearing practice in Uganda– that I interrogate in this article. Its commentators argue that the domestic story of the depicted family uncannily corresponds to important historical moments in the Ugandan polity. No wonder the available critical analyses of this important Ugandan text focus on only its political theme. Although Moses Isegawa’s debut novel, Abyssinian Chronicles, has received popular recognition in the press, it is yet to attract commensurate critical attention in literary scholarship. ![]()
