Acerca de este título
Dear stranger. Are you home? Do you feel at home? For how much longer?
Across the world the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and the economically excluded is growing. In the decade since she left her own home, Ece Temelkuran has been a political Cassandra, warning those convinced it couldn’t happen in their country that fascism is coming.
Now, as oppression spreads and temperatures rise – as we face competing crises and learn, again and again, that no institution is so concrete it can’t turn to dust, and no home is too strong to be destroyed – she has written Nation of Strangers: a series of letters from one stranger to another.
Politically attuned and deeply personal, this extraordinary, heartening correspondence is a gift to treasure in uncertain times. As poetic as it is precise, it is a book for anyone who feels alienated by an ever-more monstrous world. It shows how, as we all become strangers, our home will depend on the strength we find with one another.
Reseñas de la crítica
One of the finest books I've ever read on what it means to be cast out, to be unhomed. Ece Temelkuran is a brilliant thinker, and her work here is as conceptually illuminating as it is beautifully written (OMAR EL AKKAD)
Nation of Strangers is perhaps the most urgent and necessary book of our times, for our times. To read it is "to stiffen the sinews" (MICHAEL MORPURGO)
Nation of Strangers is essential reading - a bold reminder, a stern warning, a soft prayer and courageous song. Without a doubt, it is my number one favourite book of these times . . . a critically honest observation of us, of you and me in the here and now, our fragile notion of home, the homes we leave behind, the home we carry with us. I feel like she is writing to me personally, teaching me to be stronger and much more resilient (SALENA GODDEN)
Powerful, poetic and deeply personal, Nation of Strangers is both a brilliant exploration of the meaning of home and an urgent call for a new politics of togetherness. An unforgettable book that offers vital imaginative vision and vocabulary to traverse the turbulence of our times (ROMAN KRZNARIC)
Homelessness, both literal and spiritual, is increasingly the contemporary human condition, and in Nation of Strangers, Ece Temelkuran gives it the sustained and close attention it deserves. She not only elegantly and movingly diagnoses our shared plight; she describes the wise and viable solutions we so desperately need. No one baffled and estranged by our age's relentless shocks can afford to miss this book (PANKAJ MISHRA)
