September, 1972.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Bennett&#8217;s Uganda Argus Scrapbooks<\/h3>\n<p>Wayne Bennett was a Canadian University Students Overseas (CUSO) Cooperant in Uganda from 1970-1972. During this period, Bennett collected newspaper clippings he found interesting from the\u00a0<em>Uganda Argus<\/em>. These mainly consist of articles on international diplomatic relations and the \u201cgoings on\u201d in Southern Africa.\u00a0 Some local concerns are also represented, especially popular news, and television. Bennett preserved these clippings in three different scrapbooks, each of which is now part of Archives and Special Collections.<\/p>\n<p>The clippings from the newspapers\u00a0give insight into Ugandan popular political opinion leading up to and during the Asian expulsion in 1972. Bennett collected articles before and after Idi Amin\u2019s successful coup as well as those reporting on Amin\u2019s announcement of the expulsion. While he followed the story of the Asian expulsion in 1972, Bennett also gathered news stories on a number of political issues and events in Uganda during his time there. He took interest in the report of two murdered Americans, the Martin Meredith &#8211; Amin issues, the expulsion of Israelis and mysterious deaths occurring in the army. Bennett\u2019s scrapbooks offer insight into how the Ugandan press dealt with the country\u2019s political environment under Amin as well as the public reactions to the Asian expulsion.<\/p>\n<h4>Digitized Scrapbook Links:<\/h4>\n<p>The following scrapbooks contain clippings and articles from the <em>Uganda Argus<\/em> newspaper, Carleton University does not hold copyright for the <em>Uganda Argus<\/em> articles, and they are posted here for educational purposes only.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/uganda-collection\/wp-content\/uploads\/UgandaNewsPictures_1970.pdf\">Uganda Argus Newspaper &#8211; 1970 (.pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/uganda-collection\/wp-content\/uploads\/UgandaNewsPictures_1972.pdf\">Uganda Argus Newspaper &#8211; 1972 (.pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bennett&#8217;s Uganda Argus Scrapbooks Wayne Bennett was a Canadian University Students Overseas (CUSO) Cooperant in Uganda from 1970-1972.
