Domenico Losurdo: «Il popolo martire dei nostri tempi». Scritti e interventi sulla questione palestinese, la rivoluzione anticoloniale, l’imperialismo A cura e con un saggio di Stefano G. Azzarà. Pubblicazione del Gruppo di Ricerca Internazionale “Domenico Losurdo”

Centered on the universal concept of the human being, Domenico Losurdo's philosophical reflection engaged with those historical and ideological processes – first and foremost colonialism and imperialism, along with the culture that continues to legitimize them – that have hindered the construction of a common humanity. In this intellectual and militant commitment, particular attention has always been paid to the Palestinians, "the martyr people par excellence" of our times; a people humiliated and unrecognized by that very West which nevertheless proclaims itself the champion of human rights and for a long period – before moving on to the brutal exercise of a force that it feels no longer needs moral or legal justifications – claimed to export those rights through its own "humanitarian wars." Now that the entire world has experienced the tragedy of Gaza with dismay, it is useful to bring these texts back into the public sphere; texts in which what everyone can see today, now that their eyes have been forced open, was understood and denounced in years when most had closed their eyes.
