Tijd Van Woede by Pankaj Mishra
A History of the Present
A sweeping analysis that traces how rapid modernization, economic dislocation and cultural humiliation have fueled a global surge of rage and illiberal politics. Drawing on history and contemporary events, it argues that widespread feelings of social displacement, loss of status, and unmet expectations — intensified by imperialism and unequal globalization — have produced movements of resentment, identity-based backlash and authoritarian impulses. The work shows how these recurring forces help explain contemporary populism and violence as products of modernity’s failures rather than mere aberrations.
