«Le commencement d'un monde : vers une modernité métisse» is the essay by Jean-Claude Guillebaud, published by Seuil in paperback (390 pages, in French).
Against the «clash of civilizations», Guillebaud describes the birth of a mixed planetary culture. He analyzes societies' unease at the end of the previous world and sees the new modernity as both threat and promise. Traveling through Africa, China, India and Latin America, he shows that similarities between cultures outweigh their differences.
Sixth volume of Jean-Claude Guillebaud's series «enquête sur le désarroi contemporain», begun in 1995 with La Trahison des Lumières.
For readers of political philosophy and cultural history interested in the debate on multiculturalism and identity in the 21st century.
Jean-Claude Guillebaud was a French writer, essayist, lecturer and journalist.
