PALESTINE BOOK AWARD WINNERNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLERUSA TODAY BESTSELLER“Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century.”—Robin D. G. KelleyPerfect 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.

Each day after school, Mohammed El-Kurd’s grandmother welcomed him at the door of his home with a bouquet of jasmine. Her name was Rifqa—she was older than Israel itself and an icon of Palestinian resilience.With razor-sharp wit and glistening moral clarity, El-Kurd lays bare the brutality of Israeli settler colonialism. His poems trace Rifqa’s exile from Haifa to his family’s current dispossession in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem, exposing the cyclical and relentless horror of the Nakba.El-Kurd’s debut collection definitively shows that the Palestinian struggle is a revolution, until victory.

I "Perfekta offer och vädjandets politik" dissekerar Mohammed El-Kurd den förvridna logik som tvingar palestinier in i en oklanderlig offerroll: passiv, sårbar, försvarslös. En roll där de förväntas vädja till omvärlden om nåd, snarare än att kräva rättvisa. I en blandning av essä och reportage, det lyriska och det analytiska, visar El-Kurd hur kravet på det ”perfekta offret” reglerar vilka liv som är värda att sörja och vilka som kan offras. Vilka som ständigt måste bevisa sin mänsklighet för att överhuvudtaget tillskrivas ett människovärde. Vad händer med ett samhälle, en värld, där empati inte är en självklarhet utan något som måste förtjänas – genom rätt tonfall, rätt kropp, rätt sorts lidande? Mohammed El-Kurd är poet, författare och journalist från Jerusalem i det ockuperade Palestina. År 2021 utsågs han av tidskriften "TIME" till en av världens hundra mest inflytelserika personer. El-Kurd har mottagit ett flertal utmärkelser och priser och är författare till den hyllade diktsamlingen "Rifqa". Hans sakprosadebut, "Perfekta offer och vädjandets politik", är översatt av Johanne Lykke Naderehvandi och Khashayar Lykke Naderehvandi.Boken ges ut i samarbete med Glänta Produktion
