Pambazuka – ‘Ugandan Asians: Then and Now’ by Vali Jamal

The ‘forthcoming’ bit gave me lots of problems as it changed several times. It was going to be a magazine for the Commonwealth Conference in Uganda in November 2007. Prior to that I had done one for the Aga Khan’s Golden Jubilee in August (2007) in ‘three weeks of writing and three days of designing and printing’. So I thought three months should be ample for this effort.

All said sure they could do it, just give us the advance.
