Thank you to Vamika Sinha for her thoughtful editing, @sanagoyal.bsky.social for her support, and the entire @wasafirimag.bsky.social team for their continued work in this increasingly vital space.

From Wasafiri: Can storytelling play a role in liberation? 'This special issue of Wasafiri,' writes Sana Goyal in the issue's Editorial, 'holds uneasy questions, ambiguities, contradictions, and vagaries within its pages...

turning to our foremost thinkers and artists for clarity, sagacity, a silver lining of hope.'

Read through powerful interviews with major writers such as Daniela Catrileo, Isabella Hammad, and Mirza Waheed; poetry, life writing, and fiction on encampments, the university, protest, transnational solidarities, student struggles, archives, queerness, and more.
