Acholi Is Lango (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798325053788)

For long, the origins of Acholi and Lango have been formally documented and taught in schools as unrelated. However, as spelt out in this book, there are indisputable proofs that the two groups actually have a common origin. An analysis of the groups' key aspects, especially oral traditions, linguistic characteristics, and cultural norms, reveals stunning details of deep Acholi-Lango connection that the previous studies have overlooked.
Besides, Jack Herbert Driberg, the author of the 1923 book, The Lango: A Nilotic Tribe of Uganda, is credited for being the first researcher to prove the link although subsequent authors like Bishop Angelo Tarantino and Julius Peter Odwe have insisted on separate origins.
From Didinga Hills in Eastern Equatoria in South Sudan, the location Driberg cites as the point of Lango formation in the 1600s, this book traces their routes up to their present-day home in northern Uganda. Also, the book lays bare evidence of Acholi-Lango link right from Didinga Hill up to Uganda.
