No two consecutive generations of Dr. Shakeel Siddiqui’s family have been buried in the same graveyard, or even in the same city. Tracking the journey of a bloodline across ten generations, Ink on Air maps a family tree drawn not with stable land deeds but with shifting political borders and crumbling societies. From the heights of historical grand power and privilege to the direct firing line of modern nationalist hostility, this ordinary family was simply unfortunate enough to catch each recurring geopolitical tide exactly at its peak—country after country, society after society. Through this emotional and psychological map of a people and their past, Shakeel builds an unforgettable image of the deeply personal, intimate struggles of ordinary people who were forever forced to pack up, wander, and rebuild their lives from scratch. Shakeel Siddiqui, PhD, is a lecturer and researcher who utilizes ethnosociology, material culture, and narrative analysis to study identity and culture in cyberspace. He lives in a centuries-old house surrounded by a stream and a forest in the middle of Ireland with his two dogs and a hundred wild birds.
