The World After Gaza

A seething and erudite indictment of the west’s role in the creation of Israel and everything that has flowed from it

Guardian

This is a rare text: courageous and bracing, learned and ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding

Naomi Klein

As 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*

Stimulating and brilliantly researched

Irish Times

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 Khalidi

This 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 Matar

An impassioned account . . . Richly researched . . . Riveting

The Tablet

If 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’Hagan

A 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
