The East African Newspapers<\/strong> collection provides insight into this region during the 20th and early 21st centuries, a time of great change for Africa. In East Africa, this time witnessed the growth of decolonization as independence movements swelled, and local, autonomous self-governance took hold throughout the region. This period was also punctuated by famine, drought, political uprisings, border disputes, and war as countries worked to navigate the post-colonial landscape. The collection includes 3 key newspapers: Daily Nation<\/em> (Kenya), The Ethiopian Herald<\/em>, and The Monitor<\/em> (Uganda).<\/p>\n

You can access the East African Newspapers<\/strong> via the E-resources trials page<\/strong><\/a>.
