Product Description
Perfect Victims — Mohammed El-Kurd
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century.” —Robin D. G. Kelley
Perfect Victims is a fearless and poetic manifesto—an urgent affirmation of Palestinian resistance, dignity, and defiance. With razor-sharp clarity, Mohammed El-Kurd confronts the brutal realities of colonial violence and the moral distortions that force Palestinians to continually prove their own humanity.
In prose that is both lyrical and unflinching, El-Kurd rejects the impossible demand to be the “perfect victim.” He exposes the power structures that criminalize the oppressed while shielding the oppressor, insisting on truth over performance and dignity over approval.
Through testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims transforms Palestine into a mirror of global injustice—a reflection of how the world views resistance, empathy, and freedom. El-Kurd compels readers to look directly into the eyes of the Palestinian struggle and to confront what that gaze reveals about themselves and humanity at large.
Profound, uncompromising, and deeply human—this book is a landmark work that redefines the discourse on occupation, identity, and liberation.
