ABSTRACT
Studies of migration in Africa seem to have shifted in the last few years from social anthropological analyses to demographic analyses of regional flows. Some author has attempted to show that the distinctiveness of 'European', 'African' and 'Asian' in economic and class terms is less than exact in Kampala, particularly for an entrepreneurial bourgeoisie composed primarily of Africans, Arabs, Somalis and Indians. One prominent Luo in Kisumu responded that 'Luos are subjects of the Kenya Government' but a Luo refugee from Uganda said 'We told them that we were citizens of Uganda and showed them the authors's trade licences, which are valid up to the end of 1973'. The definition of African and non-African has continued to be vague up to the present, but even now current land law restricts ownership to an 'African citizen of Uganda'. Three ethnic groups, the Ganda, the Luo/Luhya and the Arabs, Somalis, Indians and Mixed show significant differences in the pattern of intervening residences.
