Acquisition Highlight: New titles from our Ugandan fieldtrip

At least once a year an ASC Library staff member heads for Africa to collect books that are otherwise hard to come by. The motivation behind these trips is partly an awareness that collection practices are inherently biased. To illustrate this, two books bought on a recent ASC visit to Kampala are the focus of our latest ‘Acquisition Highlight’, one book arguing that Tony Blair became "the face of African dictators whom he networked and advised as they plundered and looted their nations and killed their people",  and the other praising Idi Amin for his "positive contributions" to Uganda. The inclusion of books like these is what makes the ASC Library’s collection interesting and unique. Read the Acquisition Highlight!
