Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a Ugandan-born British journalist and author, who describes herself as a “leftie liberal, anti-racist, feminist, Shia Muslim, part-Parkistani, and a very responsible person.” Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a regular on television and writes for the Independent. She can be depended on to be disloyal to blind interest groups and patriotism. Don’t expect her to deliver any given line: she is a feminist who furiously criticises some arguments falling under the ‘feminist’ label, an anti-racist who will always expose black and Asian hypocrisies and oppression, a Muslim calling for reformation, and a British citizen who battles for real equality for immigrants and their children.
