Against these state-spoken and media-echoed narratives, Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou reconstructs a deeper history of the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Through a comprehensive recasting of the events of 11 September through the mid-2020s and an analysis of their global interconnectedness, he traces the emergence of a new political order marked by war, racism, propaganda, authoritarianism and technological oppression. Bringing together political, artistic, socio-economic, cultural, and ethical perspectives, \u003ci\u003eSeason of Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e offers a panoramic account of the world remade in the aftermath of 9\/11 and lays bare the structures and forces that continue to define our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou\u003c\/b\u003e (1968--2024) was Professor and Deputy Director at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
