From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia
Pankaj MishraPankaj Mishra's fascinating, highly entertaining new book tells the story of a remarkable group of men from across the continent who met the challenge of the West. Incessantly travelling, questioning & agonising, they both hated the West & recognised that an Asian renaissance needed to be fuelled in part by engagement with the enemy. Through many setbacks & wrong turns, a powerful, contradictory & ultimately unstoppable series of ideas were created that now lie behind everything from the Chinese Communist Party to Al Qaeda, from Indian nationalism to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Mishra allows the reader to see the events of two centuries anew, through the eyes of the journalists, poets, radicals & charismatics who criss-crossed Europe & Asia & created the ideas which lie behind the powerful Asian nations of the twenty-first century.
PANKAJ MISHRA is an award-winning novelist & essayist whose writing appears frequently in The New York Review of Books, The Guardian, & the London Review of Books.
