Pankaj Mishra's new book, _The World After Gaza: A History_, was written as a response to the "vast panorama of violence, disorder and suffering that we're seeing today," says the author. In Part 1 of our interview with the award-winning Indian writer, Mishra shares why he "felt compelled" to respond to what he sees as a return to the 19th-century model of "rapacious imperialism" in the Western world, signified by global complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
