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

the extraordinary degree of autonomy claimed by the
Baganda in the Agreement of 1900 with the British.
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.

1955, retiring from it in 1968. 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.

Kalista, Zdeněk (1900–1982)
Czech historian, poet, and translator. 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

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.
