Abstract
In Ugali, Meat, and the Bullet, Isaac Christopher Lubogo and Agatha Mulungi Lubogo masterfully weave a deeply philosophical and politically incisive narrative about survival, power, and human agency on the African continent. The title itself reflects the raw realities of life in Africa—Ugali symbolizing the daily quest for sustenance, meat representing aspirations of prosperity and dignity, and the bullet embodying the everlooming forces of power, violence, and control that have shaped both colonial and post-colonial histories. The book journeys through the philosophical corridors of endurance and authority, examining the forces that bind or liberate the African spirit. It challenges readers to confront difficult truths about poverty, oppression, and the cyclical nature of political violence. Yet it does not merely dwell on problems; it offers a visionary discourse on reclaiming agency and reimagining power structures to favor justice and collective progress
