A History of Burning (2023)

Book
A History of Burning
8.0/10on Open LibraryPublished
The family route runs from labour on an East African railway to Uganda, then into forced dispersal under Idi Amin and onward into exile. Oza makes each new home carry earlier bargains, languages and silences into the next generation. Choose it for a broad historical journey held together by the consequences of ordinary decisions. The 1972 expulsion changes the family's possibilities without making earlier complicity or later disagreement disappear.
