Description

Sadiqa de Meijer writes between two languages. She has a keen emotional awareness of both Dutch (her mother tongue) and English (the language of her adoptive country). In this conversation with Qanita Lilla, Sadiqa talks about writing “between” these two languages and of having to balance their stylistic tendencies. Interspersed with readings from Sadiqa, we learn about her life enriched by the pain and joy of cultural pluralism.
