# Bland Fanatics **Author:** Pankaj Mishra **Date Read:** 2021/03/13 **Rating:** 5/5 **Bookshelves:** ## My Review A riveting read; for someone who deeply appreciated Hitchens scholarship this book offers the decolonised version of comparable scholarship, articulated in relatively rich verbatim quotes to carefully selected narratives from multiple ideological leanings of course in service of a brilliant takedown of western liberalism that drew its flavours from the colonial enterprise. I would include this among decolonisation 101 readings in any academic discipline!
