On this journey, I explore freedom in a post-colonial context.

"Studied in the UK?" Ok, and what?

How does the coloniser hold onto power?

On this journey, I question the way we look at Islamic history.

Do we glorify past nations too much? - What can we learn from being more mature about our discussions around Islamic history? - What implications could this have for our approach to politics and our own role in the world today?

Book in focus: The Ottoman Empire: The Classical Period - 1300-1600 by Halil İnalcık (Turkey).

Book Nomad: Reading the World - Mini-ep. Is this one mispronounced name too far?
play

04/14/20 • 19 min

This mini episode is a bit different in tone from the usual. I take my experience listening to the audiobook of The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty as a launchpad to think about where and how we, as Muslims in creative industries, need to really up our game.
