What happens when your scars begin to speak?

For Dr. Shumaila Hemani, music began as a calling. It unfolded into a life path through a rare human connection with eminent ethnomusicologist Professor Regula Burckhardt Qureshi, whose faith in her awakened the courage to risk everything for the artist’s path.

Drawing upon intuitive deep listening to the soundscapes of diverse musical cultures and the author’s own trauma, Writing in the Wound tells the story of an ethnomusicologist’s resilience and fragility amid systemic erasure.

Spanning travels across diverse musical cultures and settings, Dr. Hemani shares her testament to truth and vulnerability in the face of institutional silencing, immigration precarity, and the long endurance toward belonging in Canada.

"Shumaila Hemani 's work is multifaceted, beautifully lyrical, and crystal clear."
— Barb Howard, author of Happy Sands, University of Calgary Press.

“Writing in the Wound contributes to collective human strength to heal the planet— in such a loving, powerful way.”

— Norine Braun, award-winning Indigenous singer-songwriter
