Age of Anger: A History of the Present
How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world? Pankaj Mishra attempts to answer this bewildering question in Age of Anger, which provides an urgent analysis into the rising tide of radical nationalism, racism, intolerance, misogyny, xenophobia, and fascism that's sweeping away calmer and more measured opposition all over the world.
A book of immense urgency and profound argument that makes startling connections and comparisons, Age of Anger is a history of our present predicament unlike any other.
"A short book into which a lot of intellectual history has been packed. Nearly every page of Age of Anger illuminates the current political climate." -- Slate
