Reviews
"""Elizabeth Iwunwa is the right-on-time curator of this righteous assembly of views, interviews, art, and photos, all depicting the Come-From-Far-Away Islanders who have found anchorage in the harbour of Confederation and a new homeland on soil as red and promising as the dawn. Charming and charismatic, personable and penetrating, Iwunwa maps a community of Islanders whose odysseys have taught them that all of Earth is an island, one where we all must find refuge, amid the endless, bone-chilling ocean of space."" --George Elliott Clarke, Author of Where Beauty Survived: An Africadian Memoir (Knopf Canada) ""Immigration is so much more than simply moving to a new place. Ije is a brilliant anthology that captures stories rarely considered from the citizen's perspective yet experienced so rawly and felt so deeply from the immigrant's perspective. Ije is the book that PEI needs in this very moment."" --Tamara Steele, Director of the Black Cultural Society of PEI"
