Age of Anger: A History of the Present by Pankaj Mishra
Why do young men and women from the West join an extremist organization like ISIS? Why are we seeing the rise of aggressive right-wing politics in countries such as India, Turkey and USA, the expansion of Islamist terror, massacres in Western metropolises, wars in the Middle East? And in what way is the politics of anger and violence connected? In this outstanding book, Pankaj Mishra argues that the roots of our age of anger lie in the great economic and political revolutions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Europe and the traumatic social and political changes they brought. Boldly argued and with a canvas that stretches from Savarkar in India to Rousseau in France, Age of Anger is a must-read to understand the world today. About the Author :- Pankaj Mishra is the acclaimed author of six books of fiction and non-fiction including, most recently, From the Ruins of Empire. He writes frequently for the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Guardian, New Yorker, London Review of Books, Bloomberg View, among other American, British and Indian publications.
