In Age of Anger , Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the eighteenth century before leading us to the present. As the world became modern, those who were unable to enjoy its promises of freedom, stability, and prosperity were increasingly susceptible to demagogues. It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the nineteenth century arose?angry young men who became cultural nationalists in Germany, messianic revolutionaries in Russia, bellicose chauvinists in Italy, and anarchist terrorists internationally. Today, just as then, the embrace of mass politics and technology and the pursuit of wealth and individualism have cast many more billions adrift, uprooted from tradition but still far from modernity?with the same terrible results. Making startling connections and comparisons, Age of Anger is a book of immense urgency and profound argument. It is a history of our present predicament unlike any other. 517 $aAge of Anger 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aHistory$2OverDrive 606 $aPolitics$2OverDrive 606 $aPsychology$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aHistory. 615 7$aPolitics. 615 7$aPsychology. 676 $a909.09821 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS037000$aPOL010000$2bisacsh 700 $aMishra$b Pankaj$0695463 702 $aPerkins$b Derek$f1956-$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910159493903321 996 $aAge of anger$91524469 997 $aUNINA
