The Patriotic Category, is the second book in Kyeyune Sharif's Anthem Trilogy-a gripping legal drama set in Uganda, where a government lawyer must defend the state against a family seeking justice for a stolen national anthem. When Sarah Kakoma sues the government for sixty years of unpaid royalties on her father's composition-the Ugandan national anthem-Senior State Advocate Harriet Nambooze is assigned to defend the state. What begins as a straightforward copyright case becomes a moral crucible as Nambooze finds herself arguing against a daughter's rightful claim, using doctrines of "implied license" and "sovereign necessity" to protect an institution that may have done wrong. Told from the government's perspective, this novel explores the tension between law and justice, the machinery of institutional self-defense, and one lawyer's journey from certainty to doubt. As a new jury system transforms courtroom dynamics, Nambooze must confront the question: Can you defend an indefensible position with integrity—and what does it cost you.
