This book is one of the first scholarly investigations into the literary representations of the lived realities of Ugandan-Indians, often referred to as 'Passenger Traders', who were exiled in 1972 under the Idi Amin regime. Employing an innovative interdisciplinary methodology that combines diaspora criticism, human geography, memory studies, and childhood studies, this volume provides a nuanced analytical framework, and makes a significant contribution, to understand diasporic narratives in the Indian Ocean region. It delves into the subjective experiences of these exiled traders, exploring their struggle and triumph through the lens of contemporary memoir and fiction by authors such as Shenaaz Nanji, Tasneem Jamal, Neema Shah, and Hafsa Zayyan. Through a blend of historical insight and literary critique, this book unveils the rich yet troubled legacy of the passenger traders amidst the postcolonial reality of multiple dwelling and displacement. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature, both African and Indian, migration and diaspora studies, memory studies, childhood studies, and Indian Ocean studies.
