Northern Light is a book by Kazim Ali.(Goose Lane Editions)
Kazim Ali was the child of South Asian immigrants, who unexpectedly spent years of his childhood in the small Manitoba town of Jenpeg, a town that existed because of the hydroelectric dam nearby. As an adult, he found himself wondering about the town: did it even exist anymore? And if it did, what was it like? These questions sent him on a journey, one that looked at the environmental destruction the dam caused, and the local Pimicikamak community that fought against it.
Northern Light is Ali s story, the story of the Pimicikamak community and the story of a town that no longer exists.
