THE story of Idi Amin’s expulsion of Ugandan Asians from the country in 1972 has been told and retold several times. A new book by Dr Vali Jamal is another tale of that story, yes, but it proceeds past just telling the story and goes on to investigate and narrate what became of those expelled Asians, Joseph Ssemutooke takes us through the book.
Jamal, who refers to himself as an oligino Uganda Asian, is one of the Ugandan Asians who were expelled by Amin and gives his account in a book. In a preface, Jamal explains his qualifications for writing the book — he was in Uganda in 1972 during the expulsion, that he grew up in Uganda in the late 1940s, and that he came back to live in Uganda. The book’s passion derives from that “virtuous triangle.”
