this story feels like it is being told by someone in my own lineage yet my tribe is worlds away from the Salh's. I feel grateful for the memories Shugri held on to and gave away in this memoir. as someone with nomadic ancestry and with parents who migrated to the west, The Last Nomad paints vivid images of what my ancestor's daily lives could have looked like

this story feels like it is being told by someone in my own lineage yet my tribe is worlds away from the Salh's. I feel grateful for the memories Shugri held on to and gave away in this memoir. Colonialism and its defining erasure leaves me piecing together what the world allows me to recover, gathering fragments to build a mosaic of ancestral knowledge. The Last Nomads offers many of these pieces.

this is messy at times but also reflects the ebbs and flows of our healing, and life. One moment I’m thinking wow this is messy and then thinking of the realness in feyi’s experience. How beautiful it is she allows herself to be hers and be fully alive.
