"One of our most important public intellectuals reveals the hidden history of our current global crisis. How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world--from American 'shooters' and ISIS to Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism across the world to racism and misogyny on social media? In Age of Anger, Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the eighteenth century, before leading us to the present. He shows that as the world became modern those who were unable to fulfill its promises--freedom, stability and prosperity--were increasingly susceptible to demagogues. The many who came late to this new world or were left, or pushed, behind, reacted in horrifyingly similar ways: intense hatred of invented enemies, attempts to re-create an imaginary golden age, and self-empowerment through spectacular violence. It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the 19th 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 wider embrace of mass politics, technology, and the pursuit of wealth and individualism has cast many more billions adrift in a literally demoralized world, 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"--… (mais)

Publicist Pankaj Mishra grossiert in pakkende citaten die treffend de malaise schetsen waarin onze wereld in het tweede decennium van de 21ste eeuw terecht is gekomen. Met enige retorische overdrijving legt hij bloot wat er allemaal misgaat: “Routine massacres in Western metropolises accompany spiralling wars in Asia and Africa, and civil liberties are consumed by perpetual warfare against real and imagined enemies.” De verklaring zoekt hij in de globalisering van de Westerse moderniteit, geboren uit de 18de eeuwse verlichting, een globalisering die aan iedereen welvaart, vrijheid en gelijkheid beloofde, maar daar helemaal niet in geslaagd is, en die zelf ook gepaard ging met enorm brutaal en grootschalig geweld (imperialisme, racisme, genocide, enz.). Op zich is dat niet echt nieuw, maar Mishra graaft wel door naar wat volgens hem de essentie is waarom die Westerse moderniteit misliep. En zo komt hij bij Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Gottfried von Herder, en Michail Bakunin uit, die volgens hem al in de 18de en 19de eeuw de interne tegenspraken en de donkere kant van de moderniteit blootlegden, en die vervolgens ook ideologisch voedsel gaven aan het ressentiment dat sindsdien onvermijdelijk gepaard gaat met de oprukkende moderniteit. Die ressentiment is een kernbegrip bij Mishra, die het ook verbindt met stromingen als fanatiek nationalisme, populisme en ronduit terrorisme.
Zoals gezegd, Mishra’s analyse is misschien niet echt nieuw. Maar hij verwoordt het allemaal erg snedig (soms een beetje té, naar mijn smaak) en pakkend. Ook de beschrijving van het radicale hindoe-nationalisme vond ik interessant, want voor mij minder bekend, al blijkt duidelijk dat bij de auteur zeker ook persoonlijke rancune een rol speelt (de Indische premier Modi wordt als een baarlijke duivel voorgesteld). Natuurlijk komt ook het radicalisme islamitische terrorisme ter sprake, maar veel andere anti-Westerse blijven buiten beeld. Ook opvallend: de voor de hand liggende band tussen moderniteit en kapitalisme weegt in Mishra’s analyse veel minder door; het woord neoliberalisme, toch een mantra in de kritiek op globalisering, komt zelfs nergens aan bod.
Nog een ander punt van kritiek: dit is in de eerste plaats een intellectuele geschiedenis, want Mishra gaat zoals gezegd opvallend uitgebreid in op het werk van westerse denkers (zoals Rousseau). Daardoor komt de organisatorische link met terroristische en radicale stromingen van vandaag niet echt uit de verf.
Maar de grote zwakte van dit boek is evenwel de structuur ervan: Mishra bezondigt zich aan eindeloze herhalingen (zo komt Rousseau minstens drie keer uitgebreid aan bod), springt voortdurend van de hak op de tak, en haalt telkens opnieuw zijn stokpaardjes boven. Zijn betoog waaiert letterlijk uiteen, terwijl hij eigenlijk alles wat hij te zeggen heeft, al in de proloog aanbrengt. En dat is toch wel spijtig. Ook zijn behandeling van historische perioden, zoals die van de 18de en 19de eeuw is niet altijd even secuur.

Pankaj Mishra beschrijft in ‘Tijd van woede’ op een beknopte en briljante manier de geschiedenis van woede als politieke drijfveer. Met verrassende historische parallellen laat hij zien dat deze tijd niet uniek is: ook het begin van de twintigste eeuw was vol van destructiedrift, nationalisme en terrorisme. Dat is geen geruststellende gedachte en ‘Tijd van woede’ is dan ook een alarmerend boek: er zal een mentaliteitsverandering nodig zijn om onze vrijheid, welvaart en stabiliteit te behouden

I’m not as enamoured with Nietzsche as Mishra but , that premise aside, it’s wonderfully written. ( )

This is an important, erudite and flawed book about the deepest roots of this inflamed moment [...] Mishra didn’t scramble for a theory to fit the facts. He has a highly developed understanding of the psychic and emotional forces propelling illiberalism’s spread across the globe, a movement united by a sense of disappointment, bewilderment and envy — the spiritual condition that Nietzsche diagnosed as ressentiment. An anger that Mishra both interprets and shares.
