Paper long abstract:

Buganda was the place where the British protectorate decided to establish his power, the core whose spreaded the western and ganda influences in the whole country. Missionnaries installed their Missions in the colonial Buganda to develop education and spreaded their faith as many people in as possible. In the beginning of XX century, schools was founded for sons of chief, in particular King's College Budo in 1906. This school handed by missionaries was in the core of the Anglican elite formation in Uganda. Its organization has been conceived to work out a new Uganda man, a new type of leader. This new man embedded by ideas of self-made man and gentleman's standards has become a standard masculinity. We will show how schools and sport practices play a great role in the formation of a new standard of masculinity during colonial era in Buganda and therefore in Uganda. For that purpose, we will founded our reflections on empirical work ( archives and interviews ).
