Abstract
Wartime violence and exile challenge not only individual lives and realities of community, but also the prevalent conceptualisations of these in anthropology and African philosophy. Based on the findings from research carried out in Uganda among young men who fled from war in Sudan, Congo, Ethiopia and Eritrea, and who try to survive in the capital city Kampala as so-called urban refugees, the article argues that the concept of community would benefit from renewed critical reflection, and that the individual should be granted a more prominent theoretical place in both disciplines.
