Gaza: Decolonisation and the return of 'rapacious imperialism'

Pankaj Mishra’s new book, The World After Gaza: A History, was written as a response to the “vast panorama of violence, disorder and suffering that we’re seeing today”, says the author.

In this Democracy Now! interview with the award-winning Indian writer, Mishra shares why he “felt compelled” to respond to what he sees as a return to the 19th Century model of “rapacious imperialism” in the Western world, signified by global complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
