Podcast Series: No New Land?

2022 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the expulsion of more than fifty thousand Ugandan Asians expelled from Uganda in 1972 by the military dictator Idi Amin. It also marked the anniversary of the full commencement of Idi Amin’s almost decade-long reign of terror during which more than five-hundred thousand Ugandan Africans were murdered. This podcast series, No New Land?, produced in collaboration with the Ottawa Writers Festival and the conference, Beyond Resettlement: Exploring the History of the Ugandan Asian Community in Exile, held at Carleton University (November 14-16, 2022) explores these legacies with novelists Tina Athaide, Tasneem Jamal, and Hafsa Zayyan whose stories are set within the context of these historical events.
