What Died When We Lived is a telling book for Uganda’s contemporary circumstances. It ably grapples with those issues that Ugandan citizens find deeply troubling, with razor-sharp analysis, consummate wit, and magisterial wisdom. Certainly, the truth-deniers will have a hard time creating a persuasive counter-narrative. Jimmy Spire sentongo has given us a gem: It is an exemplar of decolonial dissent.~ J. Oloka-Onyango
As the reader turns the pages of this volume, working through each section and article, it becomes clear that the responsibility for the transformation of Uganda – the country, state and society – lies squarely on the shoulders of all Ugandans. The call is clear: all Ugandans must become activists for change ~ Zac Niringiye
