“The World After Gaza” by a leading public intellectual delves into the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, examining it through the lenses of two contrasting historical narratives: the Holocaust and decolonization. The book challenges readers to consider why certain lives are deemed more valuable, the West’s unwavering support for Israel, and the rise of racist, far-right movements in Western nations. As global power dynamics shift and the West’s moral authority wanes, Mishra emphasizes the need to understand the perspectives of the world’s majority.
