Eviction from the Chagos Islands : Displacement and Struggle for Identity against Two World Powers (African History)

This book represents the first joint effort to document the historical background of the eviction (late 1960s, early 1970s) of the Chagosssians from the Chagos archipelago when the main island became an US-military base. It documents their eviction, resettlement, livelihoods, legal struggles and future aspirations.
