‘Weaving theory, praxis, and experimental poetics, Sarona Abuaker's Why So Few Women In The Street At Night is one of the most memorable and essential recent books from our community. A reminder to do the hard work of returning's present tense; a battle cry to resist the forces of colonial commodification, internal and external, imaginative and material. I will be returning to this book, and to Abuaker, the rest of my life.’ —George Abraham
