Persecuted and despised, the nomadic kraalmen are forced to herd their oppressor's cattle. Their only hope lies in an unlikely hero, Karekyesi - who dares to outwit the enemy...
When the Baganda tribe tired of tending their cattle themselves, they decided to employ the kraalmen – a pitiful tribe who they see as not much better than the animals themselves. Lowly, dung-encrusted, and barely deserving of their wages, the last thing the Baganda leaders expected was a rebellion. But when one man dares to take a stand, a remarkable power struggle ensues.
The Outcasts is the striking story of an underdog who refuses to be pushed down, no matter the consequences...
