Pankaj Mishra

U Iskušenjima Zapada, Pankaj Mishra donosi književni autoritet i politički uvid na putovanja kroz južnu Aziju, te razmatra pritiske zapadnjačke modernosti i prosperiteta na regiju.

Počevši u Indiji, njegovo ispitivanje vodi ga od stvarnosti bollywoodske zvijezde do povijesti Jawaharlala Nehruove politike nakon stjecanja neovisnosti. U Kašmiru izvještava o brutalnom masakru trideset pet Sikha i intrigantnim lokalnim posljedicama. A u Tibetu, on izvrsno analizira situaciju u kojoj je ateistička kineska vlada otkrila da se tibetanski budizam može "zapakirati i prodavati turistima". Iskušenja Zapada bitno je štivo o konfliktnoj regiji svijeta koja se brzo mijenja.
