I’m quoted in The Nation in this very sharp essay by Arman Amin about the failings of institutional neutrality at the institution, Vanderbilt, led by one of the idea’s most impassioned evangelizers. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

Looking forward to speaking with readers about #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love). Some more dates to be added and tickets are for sale now for most of these. Would be wonderful to see as many of you as possible (Will add links for events in replies)

Coming up tomorrow: Identity, Integrity and Solidarity: Words for Palestine. @AlnaouqA and I discuss the shaping of identities and the humanisation of Palestinians, and the ethics and importance of global solidarity, in the face of genocide. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/identity-i...

You can always rely on British Quakers to oppose unjust laws. Quakers in Britain has applied to intervene in the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, saying the ban has undermined their freedom of religion. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Consistently, student journalists do the best work holding their institutions accountable.

Egyptian activist and blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah resumed a full hunger strike on September 1 following unfulfilled promises made to him by national security officers that he would be released within days after his removal from the terrorist list. He is only drinking water. #FreeAlaa

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

I mentioned it in dispatches in a couple of my recent podcasts, too. It’s so good!

Review of #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love) in Singapore’s Strait Times: “Singh is committed to exploring the human cost of conflict through intimate character studies rather than battlefield narratives.” www.straitstimes.com/life/arts/su...

New podcast

I’ve written a long read for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social about happened with Baillie Gifford, @fossilfreebooks.org and all the festivals. A lot of fake news circulated at the time so, whatever side you came down on, I’d be grateful if you read and shared it. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/writ...

Today @tribunemagazine.bsky.social publishes a vitally important, highly personal and urgently necessary piece by Yara Rodrigues Fowler on the history of the FFB campaigning around literary festivals:

In this remarkable episode, @profsunnysingh.bsky.social talks to hostess @sindhurajasekaran.bsky.social about a range of important topics including: decolonization, postcolonial nations, anti-colonial thinking, contemporary politics, plus about her latest book, Refuge: Stories of War (and Love).

Thank you Subjective Space for this great conversation about my new book #Refuge as well as decolonisation and anti-colonial thinking and action in a postcolonial wrld open.spotify.com/episode/5FQ6...

Should be an even bigger story. Trump is unilaterally using the military to blow up people without due process and straight up going against his "America First" non-intervention policy. But when you have power, you can do whatever you want. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...

Honoured to be be part of the Solidarity & Samud Festival next week. I will be in conversation with Ahmed Alnaouq (We Are Not Numbers). Free but registration required. A few spots remain: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/identity-i...

Delighted to have spoken with the incredible Melissa Lucashenko at @waterstonesgowerstreet. There are signed copies of Melissa’s book plus my books: the brand new #Refuge and #HotelArcadia at the shop so do pop in to grab a copy.

This is because workers are "associated with diversity" by virtue of not being white guys, and to be anti-DEI is to be pro-segregation
