Pankaj Mishra in conversation with Mario Arriagada

South to North Conversations

Querétaro 2025, 

The Global South has its own commentators, and when they write, the West rarely comes out well. The essayist and novelist Pankaj Mishra (India) is one of the most incisive and lucid of these voices. In Age of Anger he traces the links between contemporary violence and the rise of individualism and capitalism; while in The World After Gaza, he extends his criticism to the global racial order imposed by the West. In conversation with Mario Arriagada.
