Omar El Akkad’s One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
Egyptian-American journalist Omar El Akkad’s new book has been described by Richard Flanagan as ‘a howl from the heart of our age’. Exploring recent global flashpoints, including Black Lives Matter, the Gulf War, and the genocide in Gaza, Omar’s book is a call for accountability and clarity, and a courageous examination of what it means to live in societies that have strayed so far from the values they claim to uphold. With Antoinette Lattouf.
Presented in partnership with The Wheeler Centre.
