Tariq Ali: Fighting the Empire

Sponsored by

At 81 years old, political activist, journalist, and filmmaker Tariq Ali has witnessed countless global conflicts and world-defining movements. Through a series of eyewitness accounts and reflections, Ali's memoir, You Can't Please All, recounts modern historical periods from the fall of the Soviet Union to the war on terror in the USA, while at the same time providing a poignant family history of his parents' early years in Pakistan. It's an honour to welcome him today, in conversation with Henry Bell.

Supported by the Centre for South Asian Studies.
