After a decade of the Hostile Environment Immigration Policy, in the midst of Ukrainian war and displacement of millions of refugees, just months after we witnessed exodus from Afghanistan, the British government passed one of the most draconian immigration bills, restricting rights of millions of dual citizens, and further criminalising and penalising people seeking protection. In this context, what do dignity, justice and resistance look like? ___ About the Speaker: Kamila Shamsie is the author of seven novels, which have been translated into over 30 languages. Home Fire won the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Hellenic Prize and was long listed for the Man Booker Prize. A Vice-President and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Manchester, she was one of Granta’s ‘Best of Young British Novelists’ in 2013 — the year she became a British citizen. She grew up in Karachi, and now lives in London. Her next novel ‘Best of Friends’ will be published this autumn. ___ Further details to follow. https://actionnetwork.org/events/kamila-shamsie-lecture
