Our world is teetering on the brink. Societies suffer from striking injustices. The climate is out balance, the geopolitical order fragile, democratic systems threatened by war, dictatorship and authoritarian movements. The multi-award-winning Turkish author, jurist and poet Ece Temelkuran looks at our disordered present. Her finding: perplexity, despair and lack of dignity everywhere one looks. She demands an end to all this, and asks: What can we do? Will and dignity is her answer, a ten-step guide to action. Not for an idealised future, but for concrete action in the present. She makes proposals for a new pro-people narrative and a new vocabulary for political engagement. "Ece Temelkuran is an exceptional journalist, almost a superwoman" (Deutschlandfunk Kultur). Mod.: Catherine Newmark
