Beyond the Royal Gaze: Clanship and Public Healing in Buganda, Neil Kodesh's 2010 academic history from the University of Virginia Press, winner of the 2011 African Studies Association Herskovits Prize, treats clanship and public healing in Buganda from the sixteenth through early nineteenth centuries, examining the balubaale and the entwinement of politics and healing central to Ganda religious practice. Its strength is that it is an award winning academic history covering the balubaale and clan ancestor claim directly. Its limit, stated as a scope note, is that its own period, sixteenth to early nineteenth century, predates the 1890s religious wars and the Kasubi tombs' 2010 fire, neither of which is claimed for this source.
