child of a stolen homeland

"This is the story of an ancient place, told through poetry." How can you speak of love, life, and liberation in a world that has persistently deprived them to your people? How can you have the courage to live when faced with suffering? And maybe most importantly: How can you thrive when the world has solely forced you to survive? child of a stolen homeland is a heart-touching debut poetry collection that paints vivid images of a disputed territory and ancient strip of soil. Written with deep vulnerability and emotion, Karim Wafa delivers an urgent manifesto of Indigenous heritage, cultural identity, colonial history, and the enduring power of the resilient human spirit. Using metaphors, cultural symbols, inherited trauma, and vivid imagery delivered through literary verses, the poems in this collection express the interconnected threads between: - The Issue of Identity: Ancestral resources and tribal heritage. - The Consequences of Displacement: The burden of imperialism and colonialism. - The Enduring Message of Hope: Praising the eternal Creator and the storytelling traditions that cannot be erased. This collection is a sanctuary for memory and diaspora. It is an act of radical remembering for the colonized, a beating heart of hope for the optimist, and a voice that demands to be heard, even when the world has sadly learnt to turn away.
