Join us as we celebrate the release of Íjè: An Immigrant’s Voyage into Prince Edward Island Life, a collection by Elizabeth Iwunwa!
A collection as diverse as its contributors, Íjè is a unique new collection of personal reflections, interviews, photo essays and visual works of art that highlight the stories and experiences of immigrants from around the globe who now live on Prince Edward Island.
The launch will present readings by Elizabeth Iwunwa, Nindiya Sharma and Debbie Langston, followed by a panel discussion entitled, “Finding Home: Memory, Place, and Personhood” which will feature three more contributors to the collection, Chef Ilona Daniel, Dr. Charles Adeyanju, and Daniel Ohaegbu, and moderated by the Editor herself.
Íjè showcases innovative, community-driven solutions to common struggles faced by immigrants in the area, as retold by those who lived through the same turmoil. Pownal Street Press wishes to thank our sponsors, the Black Cultural Society of Prince Edward Island and Immigration and Refugee Services Association of Prince Edward Island.
**Books will be available for sale by The Bookmark.**
