Aditya’s suggested reading list for Nesrine Malik:
In this podcast, Nesrine and I talk about how Gaza has reshaped politics in Britain and America. I quote from this column by her from November 2023 and also cite this prescient piece on Gaza and Labour , from October 2023.
We also discuss “identity politics” (a term only ever used against ethnic minorities). Her book We Need New Stories: Challenging the Toxic Myths Behind Our Age of Discontent is worth revisiting.
More recently, she has addressed the obits being written for Woke 1.0 .
Finally, we didn’t get a chance to discuss Sudan’s civil war, but Nesrine’s Long Read on the Khartoum in which she grew up is very powerful.
