Description
Modernity, secularism, development, and progress have long been viewed by the powerful few as benign ideals for the many. Today, however, botched experiments in nation-building, democracy, industrialization, and urbanization visibly scar much of the world. Many more people today, unable to fulfill the promises of a globalized economy, are increasingly susceptible to demagogues and their simplifications. A common reaction among them is intense hatred of supposed villains, the invention of enemies, attempts to recapture a lost golden age, unfocused fury and self-empowerment through spectacular violence. Here, Pankaj Mishra explores the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in this close-knit world, from American 'shooters' and ISIS to Trump, Modi, and racism and misogyny on social media.
