In 'In the Shadow of the Pomegranate Tree', Tariq Ali transports us to Spain in 1492, just after the Reconquest. Through the story of a Moorish family in the kingdom of Granada, the author offers us an unforgettable fresco of those decisive days. With the figure of Cardinal Cisneros as a backdrop, the novel explores the intrigues, skirmishes and slow decline of a splendid civilization, as Muslims face the conversion decree that leads them to diaspora, concealment or a frustrating decision.

He is a member of the editorial committee of the New Left Review and Sin Permiso, and contributes to The Guardian, CounterPunch, and the London Review of Books.
