The World After Gaza

內容簡介

內容簡介 【誠品選書】加薩戰爭的歷史、道德與地緣政治影響透過加薩戰爭與全球歷史脈絡，深入探討西方政治與道德想像的形成。作者檢視20世紀兩大競爭敘事：西方的勝利與多數國家的去殖民化歷程，揭示殖民主義與種族不平等如何塑造當今世界格局。隨著西方權威動搖，舊有歷史敘事面臨挑戰，作者強調重新審視歷史視角的迫切性，並探問苦難記憶、種族對立與全球政治秩序的深層問題。《加薩之後的世界》——戰爭、歷史條件與道德與地緣政治影響的深刻審視★ 屢獲殊榮的作家與思想家，對加薩戰爭及其歷史、道德與地緣政治後果的關鍵反思「勇敢且振奮人心，博學且充滿倫理思辨，嚴謹且開闊視野。」——娜歐米．克萊恩（Naomi Klein）「米什拉為世界的道德史做出了極具影響力的貢獻。」——安德魯．奧哈根（Andrew O'Hagan）「刻不容緩。」——希沙姆．馬塔爾（Hisham Matar）「傑出之作。」——威廉．達爾林普（William Dalrymple）大屠殺的記憶，作為歐洲內戰的終極暴行與現代種族滅絕的典範，在戰後時代塑造了西方政治與道德想像。為了防止歷史重演，這段記憶經常被用來為以色列對巴勒斯坦人的政策辯護。然而，對於世界上大多數人來說——正如W. E. B. 杜波依斯（W. E. B. Du Bois）所稱的「有色人民」（darker peoples）——最深刻的歷史創傷來自於奴隸制度與殖民主義，而二十世紀的核心事件則是「去殖民化」，即擺脫白人世界的控制與壓迫。《加薩之後的世界》 以中東戰爭及其在西方內外引發的極端分歧反應為起點，對上世紀兩種相互競爭的歷史敘事進行全面檢視：● 西方的勝利敘事：戰勝納粹與共產極權，並推動自由資本主義的全球擴展。● 全球多數國家的敘事：面對種族不平等的掙扎，去殖民化運動屢遭挫敗與壓制。當世界權力格局發生劇變，長期主導的西方少數群體不再擁有過去的權威與公信力，我們迫切需要從世界多數人口的經驗與觀點出發，重新思考歷史。在舊有的歷史標誌與參照點逐漸瓦解之際，唯有建立一段全新、重點截然不同的歷史視角，才能幫助我們理解當前世界秩序的變遷。在這本精煉而強有力的論述中，米什拉（Mishra）深刻反思當前危機所揭示的核心問題：為什麼有些生命比其他生命更重要？為何圍繞苦難記憶的身份政治在全球範圍內迅速興起？在西方極右翼勢力抬頭之際，種族對立為何愈演愈烈，甚至可能引發全球衝突？ ●《加薩之後的世界》是一本不可或缺的道德指南，帶領我們理解過去、審視當下，並思考未來的可能方向。From the award-winning writer and thinker, an essential reckoning with the war in Gaza, its historical conditions, and moral and geopolitical ramifications'Courageous and bracing, learned and ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding' NAOMI KLEIN'Mishra has made a powerful contribution to the moral history of the world' ANDREW O'HAGAN'Urgent' HISHAM MATAR'Brilliant' WILLIAM DALRYMPLEMemory of the Holocaust, the ultimate atrocity of Europe’s civil wars and the paradigmatic genocide, has shaped the Western political and moral imagination in the postwar era. Fears of its recurrence have been routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker peoples’, in W. E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom from the white man’s world.The World After Gaza takes the war in the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the global majority's frequently thwarted vision of racial equality. At a moment when the world’s balance of power is shifting and a long-dominant Western minority no longer commands the same authority and credibility, it is critically important to enter the experiences and perspectives of the majority of the world’s population.As old touchstones and landmarks crumble, only a new history with a sharply different emphasis can reorient us to the world and worldviews now emerging into the light. In this concise, powerful and pointed treatise, Mishra reckons with the fundamental questions posed by our present crisis – about whether some lives matter more than others, why identity politics built around memories of suffering is being widely embraced and why racial antagonisms are intensifying amid a far-right surge in the West, threatening a global conflagration. The World After Gaza is an indispensable moral guide to our past, present and future.

Mishra is one of the most important voices of our generation -- Peter FrankopanThis is a rare text: courageous and bracing, learned and ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding -- Naomi KleinAs scholarly and subtle as it is brave and original, it’s by a long way the saddest and most thought-provoking book I have read this year ― Spectator, *Books of the Year*In this urgent book, Mishra grapples with the inexplicable spectacle of stone-faced Western elites ignoring, and indeed justifying, the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Mishra reflects on the supposedly universal consensus that emerged from the Holocaust, as well as his own early sympathies for Israel, as he expounds on the terrible toll of this passivity in the face of atrocity -- Rashid KhalidiThis profoundly important and urgent book finds Mishra, one of our most intellectually astute and courageous writers, at the peak of his powers. His outrage is hard to ignore. But at the centre of this book is a humane inquiry into what suffering can make us do, and he leaves us with the troubling question of what world will we find after Gaza -- Hisham MatarIf books have a role today in the elucidation of justice, then I believe The World after Gaza will prove to be as crucial to our own times as James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time was to his -- Andrew O’HaganA brilliant book, as thoughtful, scholarly and subtle as it is brave and original, The World After Gaza does what great writing is meant to do: to remind us of what it is to be human, to help us feel another's pain, to reach out and make connections across the trenches of race, colour and religion -- William DalrympleWe all owe Pankaj Mishra a debt for crafting eloquent, urgent and undeniable words from the horrors we are struggling to witness -- Afua HirschAn astute, humane and necessary intervention, opening a path to the altered consciousness which has to be a consequence of Israel’s war on Gaza -- Ahdaf SouiefPankaj Mishra remembers the future. The World After Gaza, with its elegant outrage and eloquent ache, will be the reference for those who judge our times tomorrow. Thanks to Mishra's all-too-human work, the next generation will know we were not all in vain -- Ece TemelkuranBoth a timeless and timely book, reading The World After Gaza feels like engaging in an ongoing conversation about the meaning of the Holocaust and colonialism with a good attentive friend’ -- Eyal Weizman, Director, Forensic ArchitecturePankaj Mishra is our globally leading public intellectual and his coruscating and scintillating meditation on the ethical purchase of Holocaust memory as the Gaza war goes on is one of the indispensable documents of civilisation in a barbaric time. With his alert conscience, impeccable learning and meditative writing, Mishra chronicles how the very attempt to register the crimes of the past in a world of continuing hierarchy can transform into an alibi for the disasters of the present -- Samuel MoynWith clarity and even a dose of self-reflection, the always brilliant Pankaj Mishra sifts through the many implications of the horrid war on Gaza -- Joe SaccoA seething and erudite indictment of the west’s role in the creation of Israel and everything that has flowed from it ― Guardian
