Product Information
A New York Times Notable Book of 2017 - Named a Best Book of the Year by Slate and NPR - Longlisted for the Orwell Prize One of our most important public intellectuals reveals the hidden history of our current global crisis How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world--from American shooters and ISIS to Donald Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism across the world to racism and misogyny on social media? In Age of Anger , Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the eighteenth century before leading us to the present. He shows that as the world became modern, those who were unable to enjoy its promises--of freedom, stability, and prosperity--were increasingly susceptible to demagogues. The many who came late to this new world--or were left, or pushed, behind--reacted in horrifyingly similar ways: with intense hatred of invented enemies, attempts to re-create an imaginary golden age, and self-empowerment through spectacular violence. It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the nineteenth century arose--angry young men who became cultural nationalists in Germany, messianic revolutionaries in Russia, bellicose chauvinists in Italy, and anarchist terrorists internationally. Today, just as then, the wide embrace of mass politics and technology and the pursuit of wealth and individualism have cast many more billions adrift in a demoralized world, uprooted from tradition but still far from modernity--with the same terrible results. Making startling connections and comparisons, Age of Anger is a book of immense urgency and profound argument. It is a history of our present predicament unlike any other.

Reviews
"In its literacy and literariness, [ Age of Anger ] has the feel of Edmund Wilson's extraordinary dramas of modern ideas--books like To the Finland Station --but with a different endpoint and a more global canvas. Mishra reads like a brilliant autodidact, putting to shame the many students who dutifully did the reading for their classes but missed the incandescent fire and penetrating insight in canonical texts." --Samuel Moyn, The New Republic "In probing for the wellspring of today's anger [Pankaj Mishra] hits on something real. He traces our current mood back to the French Enlightenment of the 18th century. We revere its thinkers today for their devotion to reason, science, and the rights of man, but they were disdainful of their fellow citoyens, who clung to their muskets and their religion . . . Along with quotations from Voltaire, Rousseau, and other familiar figures of Western Civ, Age of Anger includes observations from Iranian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and other nations' scholars; their perspectives complement Mishra's deep understanding of global tensions." --Peter Coy, Bloomberg Businessweek "Richly learned and usefully subversive." --John Gray, Literary Review "A bowel-churning kick in the guts . . . [Pankaj Mishra's] vision is unusually broad, accommodating and resistant to categorisation. It is the kind of vision the world needs right now . . . Age of Anger is vitally germane to the global expressions of discontent that we are now witnessing" --Christopher de Bellaigue, Financial Times "[An] ambitious world history of anti-progressive backlash." -- New York "A disturbing but imperatively urgent analysis." -- Bryce Christensen, Booklist (starred review) "A probing, well-informed investigation of global unrest calling for 'truly transformative thinking' about humanity's future." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "With a deep knowledge of both Western and non-Western history, and like no other before him, Pankaj Mishra comes to grips with the malaise at the heart of these dangerous times. This is the most astonishing, convincing, and disturbing book I've read in years." --Joe Sacco "In this urgent, profound and extraordinarily timely study, Pankaj Mishra follows the likes of Isaiah Berlin, John Gray and Mark Lilla by delving into the past in order to throw light on our contemporary predicament, when the neglected and dispossessed of the world have suddenly risen up in Nietzschean ressentiment to transform the world we thought we knew." --John Banville, "Richly learned and usefully subversive." --John Gray, Literary Review "A bowel-churning kick in the guts." --Christopher de Bellaigue, Financial Times "[An] ambitious world history of anti-progressive backlash." -- New York "A disturbing but imperatively urgent analysis." -- Bryce Christensen, Booklist (starred review) "A probing, well-informed investigation of global unrest calling for 'truly transformative thinking' about humanity's future." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "With a deep knowledge of both Western and non-Western history, and like no other before him, Pankaj Mishra comes to grips with the malaise at the heart of these dangerous times.

Mishra reverses the long gaze of the West upon the East, showing modern history as it has been felt by the majority of the world's population-from Turkey to China. These are the amazing stories of the grandfathers of today's angry Asians. Excellent." -Orhan Pamuk, on From the Ruins of Empire, "Richly learned and usefully subversive." --John Gray, Literary Review "A bowel-churning kick in the guts . . . [Pankaj Mishra's] vision is unusually broad, accommodating and resistant to categorisation. It is the kind of vision the world needs right now . . .
