<p><strong>PALESTINE BOOK AWARD WINNER</strong><em><strong><br><br>NEW YORK TIMES </strong></em><strong>BESTSELLER<br></strong><strong>NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER<br></strong><strong><em>USA TODAY</em> </strong><strong>BESTSELLER</strong><br><br>"Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new <em>Discourse on Colonialism</em> for the twenty-first century."<strong><br><br>-Robin D. G. Kelley<br><br><em>Perfect Victims</em> is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal-an ode to the steadfastness of a nation.</strong><br><br>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. <br><br>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. <br><br>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.</p>
