The Libreria Podcast

In this episode we welcome Aamna Mohdin to discuss her memoir, Scattered: The Making and Unmaking of a Refugee.

Aamna is the Guardian’s first community affairs correspondent, reporting on the social, political and economic experiences of the UK’s diverse communities, with a focus on Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. Aamna spent her early years in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, Saudi Arabia, Germany and the Netherlands, before arriving in the UK aged seven.

Aamna is the winner of the British Journalism Award 2022 and her journalism has been shortlisted for the British Press Awards.

Libreria wishes to thank Bloomsbury Publishing for the opportunity to host this interview for The Libreria Podcast.

What is The Libreria Podcast?

Libreria, a bookshop by Second Home, is an independent bookshop in Shoreditch, London. We help you discover new books and ideas to encourage interdisciplinary thinking. In the shop, we curate our books to maximise serendipity – our shelves are arranged according to broad themes like 'Wanderlust', ‘Enchantment for Disenchanted’ and ‘The City’, so you’re constantly encountering titles you might not have come across otherwise.

In this podcast, Libreria does the same for your ears – interviewing interesting writers and thinkers to discover their influences and ideas.
