Son of Elsewhere: A Memoir in Pieces
Elamin Abdelmahmoud (BuzzFeed editor, podcast host, and one of the most beloved media personalities of his generation) presents Son of Elsewhere, an enlightening and deliciously witty rumination on Blackness, faith, language, pop culture, and the challenges and rewards of finding your way in the world.
With the perfect balance of relatable humour and intellectual ferocity, Son of Elsewhere is a collection of essays that confronts what we know about ourselves and, most importantly, what we are still willing to learn.
“It is astounding how accurately and honestly Abdelmahmoud manages to map the strange territory between cultures that so many migrants call home. The interlinked essays in this collection ... can only come from a writer both incisive and open-hearted.” -- Omar El Akkad, Scotiabank Giller Prize‒winning author of What Strange Paradise and American War
