From the award-winning writer and thinker, an essential reckoning
with the war in Gaza, its historical conditions, and moral and
geopolitical ramifications'Courageous and bracing, learned and
ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding' NAOMI KLEIN'Mishra has made a
powerful contribution to the moral history of the world' ANDREW
O'HAGAN'Urgent' HISHAM MATAR'Brilliant' WILLIAM DALRYMPLEMemory of
the Holocaust, the ultimate atrocity of Europe’s civil wars and the
paradigmatic genocide, has shaped the Western political and moral
imagination in the postwar era. Fears of its recurrence have been
routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against
Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker
peoples’, in W.E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory
is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the
central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom
from the white man’s world.The World After Gaza takes the war in
the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within
as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad
reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the
West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist
totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the
global majority's frequently thwarted vision of racial equality. At
a moment when the world’s balance of power is shifting and a
long-dominant Western minority no longer commands the same
authority and credibility, it is critically important to enter the
experiences and perspectives of the majority of the world’s
population. As old touchstones and landmarks crumble, only a new
history with a sharply different emphasis can reorient us to the
world and worldviews now emerging into the light.In this concise,
powerful and pointed treatise, Mishra reckons with the fundamental
questions posed by our present crisis – about whether some lives
matter more than others, why identity politics built around
memories of suffering is being widely embraced and why racial
antagonisms are intensifying amid a far-right surge in the West,
threatening a global conflagration. The World After Gaza is an
indispensable moral guide to our past, present and future.
