“A society that stigmatizes other societies with the view of preserving its own values is not only perpetuating hostilities, but also alienating itself from very useful discoveries about the world beyond their frontiers.”
Dr. Laury Ocen.
How so profound his wisdom, especially in today’s Uganda when ethnic divisions are seemingly overtly intensifying. Indeed, the most important resources Uganda is gifted with are its thinkers who take the time to write. Dr. Laury Ocen is among them. Two of his books already published are: “THE ALIEN WOMAN” and “RUINS OF A STAR”
