Considers the longer histories of migration, both voluntary and forced and how these shape identity. Topicial and relevant in the context of 'migrant caravans' and Mediterranean crossings, and the kkomagatu maru, and the apology for turning away a boatload of Jewish peoples, etc.
Combines narratives of migration with narratives of afterlives of slavery considers the complexities of mult- and mixed-race belonging. What does it mean to live in the shadows of messy histories?
Takes up national identity and belonging consider the context of Maxime Bernier's concept of "Extreme multiculturalism" in Canada; or the idea of MAGA and resistance to migration in the United States
Takes up the question of mixed race, of being "in-between," While this is common in larger centres there are large parts of Canada/America where this is not the case
Combines readability and intimacy of first person narrative with sound scholarly apparatus for a hybrid book or "intellectual memoir"
Shows how a first-person narrative can also be a critical narrative
