À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • PALESTINE BOOK AWARD WINNER • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR CRITICISM • From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad comes a powerful reckoning with what it means to live in a West that betrays its fundamental values.

"[A] bracing memoir and manifesto." —The New York Times

"I can’t think of a more important piece of writing to read right now. I found hope here, and help, to face what the world is now, all that it isn’t anymore. Please read this. I promise you won’t regret it." —Tommy Orange, bestselling author of Wandering Stars and There There


On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times.

As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human—not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage.

This is El Akkad’s nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date, a heartsick breakup letter with the West. It is a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the United States, in family rooms, on college campuses, on city streets; the consequences of this rupture are just beginning. This book is for all the people who want something better than what the West has served up. This is the book for our time.

The logic is quite solid but one sided. The solution will have to be many sided

Thought provoking for any spiritually grounded person. But where does the solution start. My prayers are with all of us.

This is a must read for anyone who can read. It is an honest look at the stark contrast between idealized view of the West and the realities it allows.

It says what isn't being said, but needs to be said.

A perspective interesting to explore. Thought provoking. Had to look in the mirror several times and felt uncomfortable at times. That is how I know it's important for me to listen and be open.

One of the most important books written of our time. Thank you Omar for the great journalism and for being a great human.

I have listened, for most of my adulthood, to the nonsense that is spouted by the White Supremacist Colonial Patriarchy. Very little has changed since the onset of their conspiring to rule the world, by force. The author is not afraid to speak the truth. What these rulers want, is to have control and power over a system that bends and yields to their whims.

Sadly,this group, whom have gained the upper hand through violence, will one day turn their guns onto the ones whom have supported them through all the atrocities.

The truth
