One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION WINNER OF THE PALESTINE BOOK AWARDS One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today. As an immigrant, Omar El Akkad believed the West offered freedom and justice for all. Over the past twenty years he reported on the various Wars on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more. He won awards for his journalism and his fiction. But now, watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, he comes to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. This powerful book is a chronicle of Omar's painful realisation, a moral grappling with what it means - as a citizen, as a father - to carve out some sense of possibility during these devastating times. This is a book for those that have tired of moral emptiness. This is a book for everyone who wants something better.Author: El Akkad, Omar,author Contributors: El Akkad, Omar,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 208 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language Edition: Main Published/Release Date: 13 Feb 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Canongate Books Author/Director/Artist: Omar El Akkad Dimension (cm): 220x141x19 mm Package Dimension (cm): 25x222x144 mm Item Weight (g): 308 Package Weight (g): 310
