False Idols: Breaking The Western Imperial Illusion is an in-person event for the general public.
About the event
For decades, the West has propped up a foundational myth of moral supremacy, relying on selective histories and nationalist pride. Now, that consensus is collapsing. Join us for an uncompromising evening as two of our most vital writers dismantle the narratives that have failed us. In his blistering new book The Fall of the West, Owen Jones exposes the post-Cold War hubris and imperial overreach that fractured the global order. He is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Benjamin Moser, whose profound new work, Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, recovers a suppressed lineage resisting the ethno-nationalist project. Moderated by award-winning broadcaster and author Afua Hirsch, this urgent conversation examines the lies of empire, the weaponization of history, and what happens when we tell the truth.
