K Kagwa, Sir Apolo, (1869–1927) Baganda “protonationalist,” prime minister (katikkiro), and writer. Kagwa was born in 1869 into a Baganda aristocratic family, and had some Western education as provided by the missions. Initiated early into politics, Kagwa rose rapidly in the royal service of King Mutesa, becoming the katikkiro in 1889. Between 1897 and 1914 Kagwa ruled Buganda as a regent and negotiated the Agreement of 1900 with Britain, which guaranteed for Buganda some degree of autonomy under colonial rule. He was knighted in 1902. Besides Kagwa’s profound but controversial political accomplishments, he found time to engage in historical writing. Although he wrote in Luganda (the language of the Baganda people), his works provided the first attempt at ethnohistory of a people to be done by any East African. Kagwa’s efforts resulted in the publication of many books, most of which have been translated into English. Out of these works, two remain very significant: The Kings of Buganda (1901) and The Customs of the Baganda (1909). While .de The Kings of Buganda attempted to demonstrate that the vre se precolonial political system of the Kingdom of Buganda r sthg had already exhibited outstanding capacity for good and ir llA .p effective government, The Customs stressed the need to u orG preserve the continuity as well as the self-respect of the sicn Baganda people in an era of rapid and humiliating a rF & change occasioned by European imperialism. Based ro lya mainly on the record of the oral traditions of the T .89 kingdom and particularly events of his own time, it was 9 1 © clear that the purpose of these works was to legitimize th g iryp o C 8 A Global Encyclopedia of Historical Writing, edited by D.

Kagwa’s writings, by their clarity and elegance, helped to establish Luganda as a language in which an educated elite could express complex ideas. More widely significant for historical studies in the future was the way in which Kagwa’s writings demonstrated that some African societies had highly complex historical memories, hitherto orally transmitted, which could form a basis of “oral documents” for the reconstruction of precolonial history in Africa.

Kaizuka’s main area of interest was the ancient Shang, and he was among the first to use systematically the inscriptions on oracle bones and bronze vessels for the study of its history. Kaizuka published, in addition to a number of books on ancient Chinese history and culture, several edited collections of oracle bone inscriptions.

A promising docent at the University of Prague in his early career, his progress was impeded by his imprisonment from 1950 to 1960 and subsequent discrimination by Communist authorities; he nevertheless managed to produce or edit .d e over twenty books and numerous articles, some in vre se samizdat fashion. (Samizdat was a practice of r sthg self-publishing common in Communist countries, ir llA .p whereby an author, denied access to regular, u o rG government-controlled presses, allowed multiple sicn typewritten copies of his or her work to circulate in a rF & typewritten form.) In 1991, in recognition of his fortitude ro lya and his achievements, he was posthumously awarded T .89 one of the highest decorations of then Czechoslovakia by 9 1 © th President Václav Havel. g iryp o C 10 A Global Encyclopedia of Historical Writing, edited by D.

Kalista belonged to a group of Czech intellectuals who tried, largely successfully, to rehabilitate the baroque as a positive period in Czech culture and history, in contrast to previous writers, who had viewed it mostly negatively. The list of his major works in this field starts with a brilliant monograph on the making of a perfect baroque cavalier, Mládí Humprechta Jana Černína z Chudenic [The Youth of Humprecht Jan Černín z Chudenic] (1932); reaches its pinnacle in his panoramic overview of Czech literary baroque, České baroko [Czech Baroque] (1941); and ends with a passionate summation of his many insights into this phenomenon in his Tvář baroka [The Face of the Baroque] (1982), which he had to dictate to his friends owing to the loss of his eyesight in the last years of his life. A special place among his works belongs to Česká barokní gotika a její ž árské ohnisko [Czech Baroque Gothic and Its Focal Point in Ž ár] (1970), a study of a unique type of Czech architecture that had tried to unite, with admirable results, Gothic and baroque structures and forms. A talented poet, he also published several volumes of poetry and numerous translations of historical and .d literary works from several languages. e vre ser sth Josef Anderle g ir llA Texts .p u o rG Česká barokní gotika a její ž árské ohnisko.
