Description
On 4 August 1972, President of Uganda, Idi Amin Dada announced that those of Asian descent who were living in Uganda had 90 days to leave the country. Most were forced to leave their homes with little money and very few possessions and had to start life all over again. This year (2022) marks the 50th anniversary of the expulsion of the Ugandan Asians. This book is both a collection of stories from children and young adults who were affected by Amin's decree and a culmination of years of research into the sociopolitical effects of the expulsion on the Ugandan Asians and the countries in which they resettled. These stories are personal, precious and are at the core of some unique family histories. Contributors/Authors: Audry Abraham, Diljit Bahra, Loraine Bradley, Noel D’Mello, Angelo D'Souza, Esmeralda De Souza, Maria De Ceu Fernandes, Rosa Visitacao Fernandes, Alda George Figueiredo, Flora Gomes, Zubeda Kapasi, Imdad Kirefu, Maria Karen Mascarenhas, Mike Molloy, John H Nazareth, Larissa Padayachee, Blanche Rodrigues, Emily Rodrigues, Ferdinand Rodrigues, Jake Rodrigues, Kennedy Rodrigues, Susan Rodrigues and Beatrice Sequeira.
