Description

A powerful reappraisal of the concept of exile, migration and homelessness from internationally acclaimed author and political thinker Ece Temelkuran

Nation of Strangers aims to open a global conversation about our contemporary understanding of home, in the way How to Lose a Country did for the global rise of Fascism and Together for the progressive politics of emotions as an antidote to new Fascism.

The book will define the identity of the 'homeless' beyond the clichés of victim and survivor. With a view of carving out from her personal 'homeless' experience, it will lay out the morality of survival. This specific knowledge will come to benefit everyone in the twenty-first century since even the most settled among us have to adapt to frequent, unpredictable changes.

However, Nation of Strangers will not be a survival manual. It will be a book that will show how we can live beautifully and humanely.

Praise for Ece Temelkuran:

'A brilliant analysis . . . It's one of the most important books anyone could read at the moment' - PHILIP PULLMAN

'Temelkuran is a brilliant writer, finding humour, hope and humanity in the darkest corners of our current malaise' - BRIAN ENO
