What is Home, Mum?

by Sabba Khan

Recommended by

"In her graphic novel, What Is Home, Mum?, Sabba Khan examines what it means to be part of the displaced diaspora of South Asia. Through her thoughtful narration (English peppered with Pothwari, Urdu and Arabic) and brilliant illustrations, she maps the architectures of history, religion, gender, family and identity. I especially love how Khan captures the myriad and shifting ways someone can show up as a Pakistani woman. I felt like I was reading a letter from a sister or cousin and truly found a sense of belonging through this book."
