Descripción editorial
The arrival of thousands of people in Leicester from Uganda in 1972 was a major event in the City’s recent history. Now, more than 35 years later, this book gives us the back- ground to how this mass migration happened. Interviewees talk about life in Uganda leading up to the ‘Africanisation’ polices of the 1960s and 1970s, they recall the shock of being expelled from the country at short notice, and they describe how they travelled to the UK and started to make a new life for themselves. The authors place these recollections in the political and economic context of the time.
