Ghosts of Kanungu: Fertility, Secrecy & Exchange in the Great Lakes of East Africa

Richard Vokes examines the Kanungu fire of March 2000, when several hundred members of a Christian sect, the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God (MRTC) burnt to death in Southwestern Uganda. His research reveals the history of this sect, the colonial history of the region, the current AIDS epidemic and the effects of globalization in the Great Lakes region.
