described Malik in the '' British Journalism Review'' as writing "with wit and punch about race, class, and gender, as well as Islam". Oborne characterised her as an example of a rising generation of politicized Muslim journalists who "use their identities to shed light on the inequalities in British society. They treat Islam as a political identity as much as a religious one. Being Muslim gives this millennial generation an air not of religious but of political defiance. For them, it is a tool for showing that Britain remains a country dominated by a small group of people." In 2019, Malik published '' We Need New Stories: Challenging the Toxic Myths Behind Our Age of Discontent'', which was described by the South African '' Sunday Times'' as a book in which "Malik examines and deciphers falsehoods that society has come to accept as truth."
