| Abstract | "Insecurities of Expulsion brings together work on the wave of repression that emerged out of African liberation movements and Indian Ocean and Afro-Asian relationships to focus on perhaps the highest-profile postcolonial expulsion. In 1972, Idi Amin decreed that Uganda was for ethnic Ugandans, and subsequently expelled 80,000 South Asian Ugandans, almost a third of whom were citizens, and most of whom were part of multigenerational South Asian Ugandan families, giving them only 90 days to leave the country. While Amin's successor, Museveni, invited South Asians back to Uganda in 1986, the trauma of ethnic nationalism lingers. Developing an anthropology of Afro-Asian entanglements, Anneeth Kaur Hundle explores the complicated contradictions between the unresolved historical event of the 1972 expulsion of Ugandan Asians with a new post-1990s landscape of economic liberalization policies, geo-political and trade relations between Africa and South Asia, and new South Asian migration and community-building practices-both in the complex post-expulsion forms of formal and informal racial inclusion and exclusion and in the ways Uganda Asian and South Asian migration, labor and capital are constitutive of Ugandan national identity"-- Provided by publisher. |
