About the Book
In 1972, Ugandan president Idi Amin expelled close to 80,000 South Asians of Ugandan heritage from the country by dictatorial decree. In
Insecurities of Expulsion
, Anneeth Kaur Hundle revisits this weighty historical event, arguing that it is neither an exceptional nor a parochial event, neither a result of primordial Afro-South Asian racial conflict nor an opening into a redemptive search for Afro-South Asian interracial solidarities. Hundle explores the aftermaths and continuous nature of the expulsion event, examining its effects and affects; the images, representations, and differentiated experiences and memories of the event; and the tense and ambivalent practices of citizenship, sovereignty, and governance that have emerged in the decades following the expulsion. She examines Afro-Asian entanglements in what she describes as transcontinental Uganda through the lenses of race, ethnicity, class, caste, religion, gender, and sexuality. Throughout, Hundle argues for stronger attention to knowledge production on global Afro-South Asian connections and the continued dynamics of community, citizenship, and identity on the African Continent as central to envisioning Black African self-determinism, racial reconciliation, and interracial pluralisms during shifting imperial, postcolonial, nationalist, and geopolitical times.

Editorial Reviews
“This is a brilliant and deeply ethical book. The author offers a series of much-needed case studies from Afghanistan that present a beautiful and poignant, as well as heart-breaking, series of ethnographic reflections on the impossibilities of representation in wartime. I found this to be a truly remarkable ethnography, the sophistication of which is matched only by its profound commitment to a shared humanity.”
—Seema Golestaneh, author of
Unknowing and the Everyday
“Seeking the truth of the Kabul lie Fatima Mojaddedi surrounds herself with theorists, like any good anthropologist. But she does not let these men (Freud, Foucault, Benjamin) get in the way of her sisterly journey. Going in, I knew little about Afghanistan. Reading her book, however, I wished to be there, and indeed, learned I was born there.”
—Rudolf Mrázek, author of
