In Riding in Silence & The Crying Dervish Mashid draws from the dept of her family history, unraveling the echoes of migration, forced departures, and the quiet endurance of those caught between worlds. The book builds on her previous work, Freedom is Not Free (2021), where she explored the role of women in movements of resistance across the MENA region. However, in this series, she turns her gaze towards the intersection of masculinity, political ideology, and displacement, examining how historical forces shape personal narratives in ways both visible and unseen. Whether she speaks of the dervish’s grief in the mosque, the execution of the Báb, or her father’s reluctant exile, her storytelling carries a poetic weight, blending the deeply personal with the grand sweep of history. This layered approach allows her to engage with themes of exile and belonging in a way that is both intimate and politically urgent.
