One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against ThisOmar El Akkad2025

Synopsis

One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This chronicles the deep fracture which has occurred for Black, brown, indigenous Americans, as well as the upcoming generation, many of whom had clung to a thread of faith in western ideals, in the idea that their countries, or the countries of their adoption, actually attempted to live up to the values they espouse.

This book is a reckoning with what it means to live in the west, and what it means to live in a world run by a small group of countries—America, the UK, France and Germany.? It will be The Fire Next Time for a generation that understands we’re undergoing a shift in the so-called ‘rules-based order,’ a generation that understands the west can no longer be trusted to police and guide the world, or its own cities and campuses. It draws on intimate details of Omar’s own story as an emigrant who grew up believing in the western project, who was catapulted into journalism by the rupture of 9/11.

This book is his heartsick breakup letter with the west. It is a breakup we are watching all over the U.S., on college campuses, on city streets, and the consequences of this rupture will be felt by all of us. His book is for all the people who want something better than what the west has served up. This is the book for our time.

    C'est un cri dans le silence insupportable de nos gouvernements sociopathes qui financent et justifient un génocide. Une lettre de rupture aux pays occidentaux qui, sous leurs hypocrites valeurs des droit de l’homme, n'ont tjs agi que pour préserver leur pouvoir et leurs intérêts, et cela à n'importe quel prix. Les horreurs commises ou approuvées ne sont pas un bug : c’est au coeur même du système
