From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad, an urgent and necessary reckoning with what it means to live in the West today.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;As an immigrant, Omar El Akkad believed the West would be a place of freedom and justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the various Wars on Terror, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, he has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. Plt;iPgt;One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been AgainstPlt;/iPgt; This is a chronicle of that painful realisation, a moral grappling with what it meansP#8212;as a citizen of the US, as a fatherP#8212;to carve out some sense of possibility during these devastating times.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;bPgt;This is El AkkadP#8217;s nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date. ItP#8217;s a heartfelt breakup letter with the West, a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the world, in family rooms, on university campuses, on city streets. This book is for everyone who wants something better than what the West has served up.
