#LARB Radio Hour talks with #PankajMishra about his new book, "#TheWorldAfterGaza: A History”

"[H]ow the legacy of the Holocaust has shaped the contemporary world order, including how it has shaped the government of #Israel, and the current war in #Gaza. The book grapples with how, within the relentless violence of the 20th century, #trauma can lead to #nationalism, and also how one #genocide can lead to another."

#Israel’s “Culture of Cruelty” Inspires the #FarRight Worldwide, Says #PankajMishra

“The World After Gaza” author on what Israel’s war reveals about power, violence, and who sets the rules on the world stage.

The Intercept Briefing
March 22 2025, 6:00 a.m.

"After breaking a two-month ceasefire, Israel launched an assault on #Gaza on Tuesday, killing more than 400 people in pre-dawn strikes. The death toll continues to climb as airstrikes persist, and Israel pushes forward with a ground invasion. At least 200 children have been killed in recent attacks, according to UNICEF.
The assault — the deadliest in over a year — came after Donald #Trump gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu the green light to break the #ceasefire. Netanyahu has warned, 'This is only the beginning.'

"Author Pankaj Mishra argues Israel operates within a 'culture of impunity,' emboldened by global #FarRight movements that admire Israel’s 'brazen cruelty.'

"This week on The Intercept Briefing, reporter Jonah Valdez speaks to Mishra about his latest book, 'The World After Gaza,' which examines how the war on Gaza isn’t just another conflict — it’s a turning point reshaping global politics, exposing institutional failures, and forcing a reckoning over who sets the rules on the world stage.

"'Some of the worst people in the world today are drawn to Israel,' Mishra says.

"Not because they believe in Zionism, not because they are protective of Jewish population of Israel, but because Israel again represents to them — embodies this opportunity to take whatever you can and hold on to it using extreme violence if necessary.'"

In his characteristically patient and precise prose, the eminent Indian public intellectual #PankajMishra published a major review of #Coates's 2017 book on the #Obama era, We Were Eight Years in Power, in the London Review of #Books.

Mishra detailed and dissected Coates's deeply white-identified career, which banked on his Black identity to drive guilt-ridden white America to celebrate him - just as Barack and Michelle Obama had done.

loved reading every word of Pankaj Mishra's lecture - the way we love truths that hurt:

https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/the-last-days-of-mankind/

"Today, the war on terror is widely accepted as a military and geopolitical failure. But it is still not fully understood as a massive intellectual and moral fiasco: an attempt by the Western media as well as the political class to forge reality itself, which failed catastrophically, but not without embedding cruelty and mendacity deep and enduringly in public life."

#pankajmishra

> .. the original advocacy of rights had served the expansion of commerce and a contract-based society in western Europe. But a free and rooted society ought to consist of a web of moral obligations. We have the right to ignore them, but we ought to be actually obliged not to let other people starve, or to let them lapse into destitution.

Übrigens: »Das Zeitalter des Zorns. Eine Geschichte der Gegenwart« (OV & Dt. 2017) #PankajMishra ist nun endlich auch als Taschenbuch erschienen. Kann ich rundum empfehlen als guten Einstieg zur Linderung der Dominanz eurozentrischer Geschichts-Perspektiven.

Global Histories of #Fascism

"Is fascism inseparable from political and economic modernity, fears of underdevelopment and decline, and so doomed to perpetually return? What are the lessons to be drawn from its periodic outbreaks? #VerónicaGago, #NaomiKlein, and #KoheiSaito will reflect on these questions in an online conversation moderated by #PankajMishra."

“Israel today is dynamiting the edifice of global norms built after 1945, which has been tottering since the catastrophic and still unpunished war on terror and Vladimir Putin’s revanchist war in Ukraine. The profound rupture we feel today between the past and the present is a rupture in the moral history of the world since the ground zero of 1945 – the history in which the Shoah has been for many years the central event and universal reference.” #PankajMishra https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n05/pankaj-mishra/the-shoah-after-gaza

In praise of offline reading and paid-for #journalism. I am now reading #PankajMishra on Germany and Israel in the current London Review of Books -- which I subscribe to. I thought I had 'read' this online but my attention to a screen is not really sufficient. There's also great writing by Andrea Brady on the poetry of #PhillisWheatley, Jeremy Harding on the West African coups and zombie Pan-Africanism, and Deborah Friedell on #KatherineMansfield.
