Author Taj Ali will be in conversation with Laura Webste r\, Editor of The National. Their conversation will be followed by an audi ence Q&A and book signing. \nThursday 24th September \n18:30| Adelaide Pl ace Baptist Church\, 209 Bath Street\, Glasgow \nTickets– https://www.e ventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-come-what-may-were-here-to-stay-w-author-taj -ali-tickets-1998134244313?aff=oddtdtcreator \n* Funds raised from ticket sales will go towards the anti-racist campaigning work of Glasgow Trades C ouncil. \nAs British South Asians reel from the riots of summer 2024\, thi s book tells the inspirational story of how the community organised agains t racism in the past and how it continues to fight in the present. \nBriti sh South Asians have a long tradition of radical political activism. The 1 970s and 1980s saw the community grappling with prejudice in the workplace and violence in the streets. But this history is deeper than you might th ink\, from students agitating for independence at the heart of the British Empire to seafarers organising global strikes on the eve of the Second Wo rld War. \nTaj Ali reveals how successive generations fought for rights\, dignity and a sense of belonging while actively shaping the country they n ow call home. He shows that British South Asian political life has often b een defined less by religious difference than by shared commitments to ant i-imperialism and anti-racism. In pursuit of these goals\, alliances have been forged with other movements\, from Irish republicanism to Black Power . \nAs racism rears its ugly head again\, ‘Come What May\, We’re Here to Stay’ asks are we are doomed to repeat the past or will we learn from our mistakes and build a better world together? \nTaj Ali is a journalist and historian. He is the former editor of Tribune and regularly appears a s a commentator on the BBC\, as well as contributing to the Guardian\, Al Jazeera English and others. For his work on hate crime and Islamophobia he was chosen as a finalist for the 2026 Orwell Prize.
