A wide-ranging, controversial collection of critical essays on the political mania plaguing the West by one of the most important public intellectuals of our time.

In America & in England, faltering economies at home & failed wars abroad have generated a political & intellectual hysteria. It is a derangement manifested in a number of ways: nostalgia for imperialism, xenophobic paranoia, & denunciations of an allegedly intolerant left. These symptoms can be found even among the most informed of Anglo-America.

In Bland Fanatics, Pankaj Mishra examines the politics & culture of this hysteria, challenging the dominant establishment discourses of our times. In essays that grapple with the meaning & content of Anglo-American liberalism & its relations with colonialism, the global South, Islam, & “humanitarian” war, Mishra confronts writers such as Jordan Peterson, Niall Ferguson, & Salman Rushdie. He describes the doubling down of an intelligentsia against a background of weakening Anglo-American hegemony, & he explores the commitments of Ta-Nehisi Coates & the ideological determinations of The Economist. These essays provide a vantage point from which to understand the current crisis & its deep origins.
