We belong to them."The child of South Asian migrants, Kazim Ali was born in London, lived as a child in the cities and small towns of Manitoba, and made a life in the United States. As a man passing through disparate homes, he has never felt he belonged to a place. And yet, one day, the celebrated poet and essayist finds himself thinking of the boreal forests and lush waterways of Jenpeg, a community thrown up around the building of a hydroelectric dam on the Nelson River, where he once lived for several years as a child. Does the town still exist, he wonders? Is the dam still operational?When Ali goes searching, however, he finds not news of Jenpeg, but of the local Pimicikamak community. Facing environmental destruction and broken promises from the Canadian government, they have evicted Manitoba's electric utility from the dam on Cross Lake. In a place where water is an integral part of social and cultural life, the community demands accountability for the harm that the utility has caused.Troubled, Ali returns north, looking to understand his place in this story and eager to listen. Over the course of a week, he participates in community life, speaks with Elders and community members, and learns about the politics of the dam from Chief Cathy Merrick. He drinks tea with activists, eats corned beef hash with the Chief, and learns about the history of the dam, built on land that was never ceded, and Jenpeg, a town that now exists mostly in his memory. In building relationships with his former neighbors, Ali explores questions of land and powerand in remembering a lost connection to this place, finally finds a home he might belong to. "Reading Ali is an act of redemption . . . both a challenge and a balm." -THE RUMPUS Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. First edition. Inscribed in a bold Sharpie on the half-title page: "To Kelly, Kazim Ali." The simultaneous Canadian edition, which appears quite uncommon; it was published in the United States by Milkweed. Uncommon signed because this memoir was published during the heart of Covd-19. Ali is an acclaimed poet who here explores his childhood roots in Manitoba, where his father worked for a time on the construction of a hydroelectric dam. An environmental justice story that engages sincerely and artfully with the indigenous community in that area. A fine paperback with a little sticker residue over the rear barcode; still about fine.…
