 Tariq
Ali is a pre-eminent example of a ‘public intellectual’.
Ever since he burst onto the scene in Britain, in the mid-1960s,
his ideas and his arguments have animated political discussion,
particularly on the left. He’s written authoritative
volumes on world politics and history, as well as novels,
and scripts for both stage and screen. He was president of
the Oxford
Union when that venerable debating club engaged in a live
trans-Atlantic television argument about the war in
Vietnam with Henry Kissinger; and he was
a founding editor of The
New Left Review.
Although born in Pakistan, Tariq Ali now lives and works in
London, England, where he spoke with IDEAS host Paul
Kennedy.
