Description

Are you not made of Suez silt
How do we know you wont
shore our boats
by making yourself bigger
than we made you

Sabrina Mahfouz once sat in a Whitehall interview room and was interrogated about everything from her political leanings to her private life It was ostensibly a job interview but implicit in their demands was the unspoken question as a woman of Middle Eastern heritage could she really be trusted

Years later Sabrina found herself confronting the meaning behind this interrogation and how it was specifically informed by the British Empires historical dominance in the Middle East THESE BODIES OF WATER investigates this history through the Middle Eastern coastlines and waterways that were so vital to the Empires hold Interwoven with her own personal experiences Sabrina combines history politics myth and poetry in a devastating examination of this unacknowledged part of Britains colonial past

Part history part polemic and part intimate memoir THESE BODIES OF WATER is a tapestry of writing that tells the story of Britains relationship with the Middle East in the most revealing terms
