For the past 20 years, Pankaj Mishra has written incisive studies of a world marked by inequalities and the effects of globalisation. He has traced global histories of fascism, the impacts of rising nationalism and applied an astute lens to the fragility of our democratic institutions.   

Now, he sets his expert mind to the war in Gaza.  

Garnering praise from the likes of Rashid Khalidi, Naomi Klein and Hisham Matar, Mishra’s latest work, The World After Gaza, reckons with the latest devastating conflict in the Middle East and how the world’s balance of power is shifting. He joins host Antony Loewenstein as they explore the moral and geopolitical ramifications at stake during this polarising historical moment.

This event was recorded on Wednesday 26 February 2025 at The Wheeler Centre.

The official bookseller was Paperback Bookshop.

Featured music is ‘Living in a Fantasy’ by Pulsed.
