SYNOPSIS
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 an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal¿an ode to the steadfastness of a nation.
Palestine 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.
Why 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.
How 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mohammed El-Kurd
Mohammed El-Kurd (n. 1998), jornalista, poeta e ativista, nasceu no bairro de Sheikh Jarrah, na Jerusalém ocupada, e tornou-se conhecido, a par da irmã, Muna El-Kurd, pelo seu papel no movimento #SaveSheikhJarrah, contra o processo de expulsão e limpeza étnica em curso levado a cabo pelos colonos israelitas, tema do discurso que proferiu na altura nas Nações Unidas. Voz ativa e de relevo da causa palestiniana, foi considerado, em 2021, pela Time uma das cem pessoas mais influentes do mundo. É o primeiro correspondente da revista The Nation na Palestina, cronista no Mondoweiss, e escreveu a introdução do livro Against Erasure: A Photographic Memory of Palestine before the Nakba (2024).
