Synopsis
What happens when your scars begin to speak?
For Dr. Shumaila Hemani, music began as a calling. It unfolded into a life path through a rare human connection with eminent ethnomusicologist Professor Regula Burckhardt Qureshi, whose faith in her awakened the courage to risk everything for the artist’s path.
Spanning nearly two decades — from 2006 to the present — across the academic corridors of Harvard and the University of Alberta to the soundscapes of London, Boston, Chicago, Edmonton, Mumbai, Karachi, Calgary, Banff, and Toronto, and a world odyssey aboard a floating campus, Writing in the Wound is a story of resilience and fragile belonging, of visibility and erasure, and of the power of art — in particular Sufi music — to transmute pain into wisdom.
It is an intimate testament to truth and vulnerability in the face of institutional silencing, immigration precarity, and the long endurance toward permanent belonging.
"Shumaila Hemani 's work is multifaceted, beautifully lyrical, and crystal clear."
— Barb Howard, author of Happy Sands, University of Calgary Press.
“Writing in the Wound contributes to collective human strength to heal the planet— in such a loving, powerful way.”
— Norine Braun, award-winning Indigenous singer-songwriter

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Featured in Alberta's Favourite ReadsWhat happens when her scars begin to speak? Born in Pakistan and cast adrift in Canada's immigration system after seventeen years of building a life there, Dr. Shumaila Hemani embarks on an odyssey of wounds-through music, memory, and the enduring search for belonging. As she moves through institutions that promise recognition yet often demand silence, she confronts the fragility of artistic recognition and the realities of structural erasure, struggling to preserve her voice in systems that leave her visible but uncounted.Blending lyrical storytelling, memoir, and autoethnographic reflection, Writing in the Wound traces Hemani's journey from her ethnomusicological training under Professor Regula Burckhardt Qureshi at the University of Alberta to her apprenticeship with master Sufi musicians in Pakistan. Along the way, Sufi music becomes more than a spiritual calling-it becomes a form of resistance and a language for expressing what might otherwise remain unspoken.At once personal and political, lyrical and scholarly, Writing in the Wound is a feminist memoir that invites readers to listen deeply-to the land, to longing, and to the courage of a Pakistani woman who subverts the silences of Canada's immigration system, transforming her wounds into voice, music, and wisdom. Writing in the Wound is not only about survival. It is the song of a woman reclaiming her power."Hemani writes as if sound were breath, shelter, lineage, prayer, argument, and last defense all at once-deeply moving." - Literary Titan"A fascinating memoir. Shumaila Hemani 's work is multifaceted, beautifully lyrical, and crystal clear." - Barb Howard, author of Happy Sands, University of Calgary Press. "Writing in the Wound contributes to collective human strength to heal the planet- in such a loving, powerful way." - Norine Braun, award-winning Indigenous singer-songwriter A lyrical memoir tracing a South Asian woman's journey through displacement and systemic erasure, using the rhythms of Sufi music to transform profound trauma into a powerful reclamation of voice and belonging.
