G. Kelley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect Victims  is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal―an ode to the steadfastness of a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePalestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured―the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52891498742047,"sku":"A5195","price":8.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_4249_666af29646.jpg?v=1789635231","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/perfect-victims-and-the-politics-of-appeal","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
