Welcome to the travel/literary podcast The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.
In this special edition, I speak with Emmanuel Jal to discuss War Child, a memoir of his years growing up in Sudan, when his country was being rocked by civil war. Emmanuel was separated from his family and forced to become a child soldier. Up to two million people were killed in this war, and millions more displaced. On the cover of the book, there’s a quote of Emmanuel’s: “I believe I’ve survived for a reason to tell my story, to touch lives…”
Since the publication of his book and release of a film of the same name, Emmanuel has become a World Music & hip-hop artist, and global peace ambassador. He is releasing a new album this month, title track Shangah, which plays in the podcast. Listen up. He'll get you dancing.
