''A lyrical and penetrating examination of what happened to one family and the Ugandan Asians more broadly'' GILES FODEN

''Fulford has put in the legwork ... The book is full of the sights, smells and tastes of what most remember as a lost utopia'' SPECTATOR

----

Uganda, August 1972. President Idi Amin makes a shocking pronouncement - the country''s South Asian population is being expelled. They have ninety days to leave.

After packing scant possessions and countless memories, 50,000 Ugandan Asians vied for limited space in countries including Canada, India and the United Kingdom. More than 28,000 expellees from Britain''s former colony arrived in the UK and began building new lives - but their incredible stories have, until now, remained largely hidden.

Fifty years on from the exodus, The Exiled draws on first-hand interviews and testimonies, including from the author''s family, to illuminate a time
