On July 30th, a week of Islamophobic and racist violence broke out in England and Northern Ireland, following a mass stabbing even in the seaside town of Southport in which three children were murdered. The subsequent racist attacks were fuelled by misinformation, spread by far-right groups, that the perpetrator was a Muslim and an asylum seeker. In today's episode Nesrine Malik joined PTO to talk about how best to characterise the week of violence and intimidation, and the degree of culpability of Britain's main political parties in fostering racism and Islamophobia. We also talked about the network of new right wing media organisations, think tanks and influencers and how they synergise with the old and established conservative press.
While Joe Biden struggles to draw a red line for Israel in its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a handful of principled officials within the administration are making their red lines very clear. This week on ‘Mehdi Unfiltered', Mehdi dives into the latest wave of resignations within the Biden administration over its handling of the war on Gaza, with one outgoing political appointee accusing the president of “making Jews the face of the American war machine.” The exit interview…The latest resignation from the Biden administration came into effect just this Monday for Major Harrison Mann. Formerly an official at the Defense Intelligence Agency, and an active-duty U.S. army officer, Mann made headlines for a resignation letter he shared last month to his Linkedin page criticizing the “nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel.”In one of his first TV interviews since leaving his post, Mann explains to Mehdi the reasoning behind his decision, the role US agencies play in Israel's ethnic cleansing, and how others in government share his views - but are afraid to air them.“I also suspected and have increasingly learned even in national security circles that my views are not particularly uncommon or controversial,” says Mann. Mann, who is Jewish-American, compared the treatment of Palestinians today to the way in which Jews were treated in the run-up to the Holocaust: “It was very easy for me to see in the Palestinians another unwanted population, the way that Jews were in Europe.”Also on the show: a forgotten war…One genocide overshadowed by another. This week Mehdi sheds light on the atrocities that are taking place in Sudan but are unable to reach the world. With more than 14,000 people dead, and more than 8 million displaced, the violence in Sudan is still going mostly unnoticed in Western media. Mehdi is joined by Nesrine Malik, an award-winning British-Sudanese journalist with the Guardian, who has covered the story in Sudan for years. She explains how the lack of information from the ground there is making the situation much more dire, especially when paired with false stereotypes. “We don't tend to think of war happening in countries like Sudan as a profoundly tragic, destabilizing thing, and more as business as usual.” Watch both interviews above, and for paid subscribers, be sure to let us know what you think of the full show and who you think we should have on next.

Many Europeans are shocked that there is a war in Europe. They assume that war should always be far away from home. But this assumption reveals how western foreign policies and the treatment of non-westerners is unfair and discriminatory.

Julio is joined by Dr. Bianka Soria-Olmos, a pediatrician at Cook Children's Pediatrics, and Dr. Darien Sutton, emergency medicine physician and medical contributor for ABC News, for a conversation about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccine access. They discuss the politicization of the pandemic and the spread of misinformation around vaccines. They also unpack how this latest surge of COVID-19 has affected children. ITT Staff Picks:“The pandemic isn't over, but it will be: The goal is still to reach the endgame with as little damage, death, and disability as possible,” explains science writer Ed Yong for The Atlantic.On vaccine hesitancy, columnist Nesrine Malik writes that the root of the issue is a distrust in the state, for The Guardian. For The Nation, public health advocate Dr. Rhea Boyd writes about how the COVID vaccination effort is incomplete without a recalibrated health care system.

In 2016, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump declared: “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct.” This led many after his victory to blame “identity politics” for his win. When Trump was banned from Twitter, he claimed it was an assault on free speech. Columnist Nesrine Malik contended that both of these things were myths, and joined us to explain how these arguments over lies impact the struggle for greater equality in society. In a presentation with novelist Ece Temelkuran, Malik shared from her book We Need New Stories: The Myths That Subvert Freedom, looking at how what she believes to be the lie that American values are under assault creates a solid obfuscation from the real problems. By interweaving reporting with a frank and no-holds-barred analysis of American history and politics, Malik offered a compelling account of how calls to preserve “free speech” are used against the vulnerable; how a fixation with “wokeness,” “political correctness,” and “cancel culture” is in fact an organized and well-funded campaign by elites; and how the fear of racial minorities and their “identity politics” obscures the biggest threat of all–white terrorism. Don't miss this poignant inspection of the crises roiling American contemporary politics–and the introduction of a radical framework for understanding and identifying it. Nesrine Malik is an award-winning British-Sudanese columnist and features writer for the Guardian. She lives in London. Ece Temelkuran is one of Turkey's best-known novelists and political commentators, and her journalism has appeared in the Guardian, New York Times, New Statesman, Der Spiegel, and more. Her latest book How To Lose A Country: The Seven Steps From Democracy to Dictatorship was internationally acknowledged. Her new book Together is out in May 2021.

The mural of footballer Marcus Rashford which was defaced with racist graffiti after England lost the Euro 2020 final last night was part of Withington Walls, a community street art project in the suburbs of southern Manchester. Its head, Ed Wellard, discusses the art work, the British-based Vietnamese street artist Akse who created it, and the role art can play in the community. Late last week Front Row asked Ian McMillan, poet in residence at Barnsley FC, to write a poem in response to the European Cup Final. He talks to John Wilson about his approach to this tricky commission this evening, and reads his poem, 'This Sporting Life'. We start a new series today exploring current debates within book publishing, beginning with a look at the gender split in current literary tastes. Is it harder for young male writers to get published, win prizes and make a splash now? And if so, after millennia of male dominance, does it matter? John talks to Nesrine Malik who is judging the Women's Prize for Fiction this year, and novelist and publisher Luke Brown. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Jerome Weatherald

This week on Growing up with gal-dem, Natty and Charlie are joined by award winning British Sudanese economist and writer Nesrine Malik. Reflecting on her upbringing and travel to the UK, Nesrine talks to Natty and Charlie about what it means to navigate the worlds of education and work having grown up in the Middle East and Northern Africa, and how our need to mythologise, create stories, and sometimes delude ourselves is a universal trait. Nesrine reads an extract from an article written 9 years ago, and discusses how her own approach to criticism and writing has changed over the years, and how important it is to recognise and respect the ways our own experiences and advantages have shaped the way we think. Natty and Charlie reflect on this within the context of group-think, communities, and safe spaces. How do our attempts to create spaces of comfort or recognition based on shared experience potentially push us into damaging or limiting ways of thinking, and how can we prioritise inclusivity without inadvertently becoming exclusionary?

When complex social justice ideas get reduced to a single word or phrase, they become easy to weaponize. Nesrine Malik is a columnist and features writer for the Guardian, and she joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how “wokeness,” “political correctness,” “free speech,” “cancel culture” and other shorthand terms are used to both drive and tamp down social justice movements. Her book is “We Need New Stories: The Myths that Subvert Freedom.”

Myths are tricky things. At first, they bind civilizations together with a common idea. But too often, those same ideas turn rancid if left unchallenged and form a soft spot on the nation’s citizenry. In her new book, “We Need New Stories,” Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik identifies six key myths of contemporary Western society that she believes are poisoning the well of public thought. They include identity politics, political correctness and the illusion of virtuous origin. Wednesday morning, MPR News host Kerri Miller spoke with Malik about how and why we need to deconstruct the myths and find new stories to tell. Guest: Nesrine Malik is a columnist for The Guardian and the author of “We Need New Stories: The Myths that Subvert Freedom” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

Vooruitgangsdenkers benadrukken graag dat het zoveel beter gaat met de mensheid dan driehonderd jaar geleden. Maar daarmee sluiten ze de ogen voor de ellende die de wereld ook vandaag de dag nog plaagt.

A recording of an Academy of Ideas Lockdown Debate on Tuesday 11 August 2020: www.academyofideas.org.uk/events/archive/can_we_cancel_cancel_culture Donate to the Academy of Ideas: www.academyofideas.org.uk/donate ‘Cancel culture’ has recently become a ubiquitous term, used widely to describe apparently new assaults on freedom of expression and belief. This seems to go beyond free-speech controversies around no-platforming and involves demands ‘to punish and also banish from the community a respectable opinion’. When Harper’s Magazine published a joint letter from 153 prominent writers, academics and entertainers - across ideologies, ethnicities, religions and sexual preferences - it expressed concern that ‘the free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted’. The letter itself has proven to be hugely controversial, and has led to a vociferous denial that cancel culture even exists. Critics claim that powerful people with large followings are complaining about censorship, when the reality is that newly empowered activists are merely holding them to account, whether it is writer JK Rowling or grime artist Wiley. Nesrine Malik, a Guardian columnist, writes that such well-known figures are not used to having their views challenged and have ‘confused a lack of reverence from people who are able to air their views for the very first time with an attack on their right to free speech’. Her fellow Guardian columnist, Zoe Williams, says the Harpers letter is a ‘coded attack on marginalised minorities for having the gall to criticise people with power and platforms’. In other words, freedom of speech can’t be freedom from consequences, and when people argue that certain views and opinions make you unfit for a certain job, that’s just more freedom of speech. But how then do we explain that often those most fearful of being cancelled themselves lack power, especially in the workplace? The Harpers letter was a response to an upsurge of sackings, resignations and public shamings over allegedly harmful words, deeds, opinions, often as a result of ‘institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control… delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments’. Examples abound of employees falling foul of overzealous HR departments for having the ‘wrong’ responses to diversity initiatives. Many ‘ordinary people’, therefore, are understandably fearful of the consequences of not signing up to a range of ‘correct’ views, especially those views associated with Black Lives Matter. Even the wisdom of debating such issues is now being questioned. Labour MP Nadia Whittome attracted controversy when she tweeted: ‘We must not fetishise “debate” as though debate is itself an innocuous, neutral act. The very act of debate in these cases is an effective rollback of assumed equality and a foot in the door for doubt and hatred.’ What is to be done and how should people respond in such a climate? Is cancel culture leading to greater self-censorship and stifling open debate? Or are we just seeing a new generation who have found their voice? Indeed, some suggest that marginalising unpleasant and offensive people – not doing business with them, not giving them a platform, not employing them in your business – is an entirely reasonable, personal decision. When do such actions become a systematic marginalisation of certain views – and what’s wrong with marginalising repulsive views anyway? Many seem eager to ‘fight fire with fire’ – calling out the double standards of their opponents in a tit-for-tat round of cancellations – but how can we expect that to lead to a greater range of opinion and debate? Perhaps we need to ask a fundamental question: what does it mean to live in a genuinely tolerant democracy?

Er wordt vaak geroepen dat de Amerikaanse democratie onder president Donald Trump op sterven na dood is. En ja, de Amerikaanse politiek lijdt onder de chaos en willekeur. Maar het echte verhaal zit in de populariteitscijfers van de president, die totaal immuun zijn voor hoe hij liegt en sart.

Is the assertion that freedom of expression is under pressure just a myth used to cover up more important political incompatibilities? In this event with the british-Sudanese author and Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik, held at the House of Literature 22.january 2020, Malik opened Litteraturhuset’s Commission on the Freedom of Expression. In her lecture, she talked about freedom of expression. How has the climate for free speech changed over the last twenty years? What kinds of challenges does it create, and what measures are necessary to protect this cornerstone of Norwegian democracy? After the lecture, she talked with Nazneen Khan-Østrem, author of London: Among Gangsters, Rabbis, Oligarchs, Rebels and Other Legitimate Children of the British Empire and member of Stortinget’s Commission on the Freedom of Expression in 1999. Lithouse is a podcast from the House of Literature in Norway, presenting adapted versions of lectures and conversations featuring international writers and thinkers. Music by Apothek.
Er påstanden om at ytringsfriheten er under press bare en myte som brukes til å dekke over viktigere politiske motsetninger? Dette undersøker den britisk-sudanesiske forfatteren og Guardian-spaltisten Nesrine Malik i sin nye bok We need new stories. Challenging the toxic myths behind our age of discontent. I dette foredraget, holdt 22. januar 2020, snakker Malik om ytringsklimaet i dag, og hvordan ytringsklimaet har forandret seg de siste tjue årene. Etter foredraget snakket Malik med Nazneen Khan-Østrem, forfatter av London. Blant gangstere, rabbiner, oligarker, rebeller og andre ektefødte barn av det britiske imperiet og medlem av Stortingets ytringsfrihetskommisjon i 1999.

Click here to buy: https://adbl.co/2E0s7JD We are in a unique moment as it is becoming clear that the old frames of reference are not working, that the narratives used for decades to stave off progressive causes are in danger of being exposed as falsehoods, that the myths, be it of sexual liberation or of white non-identity, are at odds with the lived experience and in urgent need of revision. Nesrine Malik applies her uniquely sharp intellect to a range of stories used to maintain the status quo. As the centre ground is being eroded, she challenges us to find new narrators whose stories can fill the void and unite us behind a shared progressive vision. Do women mistake access for arrival? Has the concept of political correctness been weaponised to avoid ceding space to those excluded from power? Is whiteness an identity with barriers to entry? These are some of the questions at the centre of Nesrine Malik's radical and compelling analysis. (p) Orion Publishing Group Ltd 2019

Warning: Contains language some may find offensive. Recording Date: 27th September 2019
This week on the podcast, I'm delighted to welcome the brilliant Nesrine Malik, a British-Sudanese writer and newspaper columnist who has recently been longlisted for the prestigious Orwell Prize and whose forthcoming book, We Need New Stories, is a riveting assault on our tired old ideologies. (She's also really funny, by the way.) Nesrine joins me to talk about the not-so-terrible-yet-somehow-devastating shame of not getting the A-grade she was predicted in her GCSE English (a failure so personal, she has never told anyone about it), why she's never grown out of 'mommy and daddy issues' and why she finds it difficult to put down roots anywhere. Along the way, we talk about the shock of sudden death, going to school against the backdrop of a military coup and when it's obvious someone has cooked Ottolenghi. I adore this woman and I know that after 45 minutes in her intelligent, inquiring company, you will too. We Need New Stories by Nesrine Malik is available to pre-order here How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, recorded by Chris Sharp and sponsored by 4th Estate Books The Sunday Times Top 5 bestselling book of the podcast, How To Fail: Everything I've Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong by Elizabeth Day, is out now and is available here.

Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik talks about the “ghoulish routine” in the media and among politicians that increasingly emerges in the aftermath of massacres of Muslims by white supremacists. The Intercept’s Murtaza Hussain explains why, as a non-white Western Muslim, he felt compelled to analyze the “manifesto” of the shooter. University of Chicago historian Kathleen Belew, author of “Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America,” discusses the history of white power movements and why she draws a distinction between white power and white supremacy.
