From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia by Pankaj Mishra

It’s a great introduction into a history we are so often robbed off.
I did find helpful that I had studied in depth the XIX century from an Eastern perspective before. But someone that hasn’t will still find looots of ideas or, at the very least, starting points for further study and investigation.
It was easy to understand, though confusing at parts when it jump in time, which was constantly.
I already want to read it again because there is so much to learn here!
