Ugandans In Canada

It is good that Mr. Mulira tells the story of the unknown black Ugandan Diaspora. I hope this book
encourages more books written by others who fi nd themselves living away from their beautiful homeland.

Th is is a very interesting and informative book. I enjoyed reading it and learned not only the life stories
and contributions of Ugandan immigrants in Canada but also the history of Canadian immigration.




Ugandan immigrants in Canada have become more visible in recent years. Yet, it is likely that only a small
percentage of Canadian citizens are well informed of the history and interesting traditions of these people
from East Africa. Th e actual number of Ugandan immigrants currently living in Canada is uncertain but
could range from 10,000 to 20,000 people. Most of the Ugandan immigrants in Canada live in major
metropolitan areas like greater Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. In the
U.S. where the number is larger, they are also mostly concentrated in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles,
Chicago and other large industrial cities.
