About this Event
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi was the first Muslim woman to serve in a British Cabinet, during the coalition government of 2010-15. A former party Chair, Foreign Office minister and Minister for Faith and Communities, she is now a non-aligned peer and has become one of Britain's leading commentators on Islam and Islamophobia. She is a prominent voice against anti-Muslim racism, and the author of two celebrated books on the role of Islam in modern Britain: The Enemy Within: A Tale of Muslim Britain and Muslims Don't Matter.
In the third of the Mile End Institute's distinguished "Hennessy Lectures", to mark our 10th anniversary, she reflects on her life and career as a Muslim woman born in Yorkshire, who practised as a lawyer before becoming a minister and member of the House of Lords, and offers "the anatomy of a prejudice" in British society today.
All are warmly welcome to attend. Tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance.
