Ismaili Centre Conversations: Here and There - In-Between Worlds

June 14, 2020 | Canada

If home is where we most deeply feel that we belong, migration puts us between worlds: here and there. How does this fit into modern citizenship, located in a particular place with a fixed border?

In this conversation with Dr. Amyn Sajoo, Canadian writer Anar Ali engages with the pluralist texture of human experience — multiple belongings in the making of home.

Anar Ali’s debut novel, Night of Power, is on CBC and Now Magazine’s 2019 best books lists. Her collection of short stories, Baby Khaki's Wings, was a finalist for the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, Trillium Book Award, and Danuta Gleed Literary Award. Anar is also a screenwriter, most recently on CTV/NBC Universal’s new drama, Transplant.
