Book Details
Contents

Written by one of Mexico's leading intellectuals, this book offers a treatise on the history and meaning of suffering, and how the idea of suffering helps to shape contemporary political thought. It investigates the rise of popular politics, the role of messianism in modern nationalism, and the contemporary implications of the Shoah.

This book will appeal to a wide audience: students of political theory, humanism, and philosophy, as well as the general reader interested in a glimpse into the mind of a highly original Latin American thinker.
