He is an editor of the New Left Review and lives in London.

Reviews

Ali remains an outlier and intellectual bomb-thrower; an urbane, Oxford-educated polemicist.
*Observer*

When he talks, the left listens.
*Guardian*

The typical Financial Times reader might find his bias so irksome they cannot continue.
*Financial Times*

Lucid, eloquent, literary and painfully honest.
*Howard Zinn*

For years, left-wing critics have framed the debate. Angela Davis, Ruthie Gilmore, Marc Mauer and, more recently, Michelle Alexander gave us the terminology to speak about all this: the prison industrial complex, abolition, non-reform reform and The New Jim Crow . [Ali's theorized term 'extreme center'] provides us with a new language to describe our problems.[O]ne of the key tasks of the extreme center is to take center stage, to ensure that no alternative seems either reasonable or possible.
*CounterPunch*
