Description
Nation of Strangers aims to open a global conversation about our contemporary understanding of home, in the way How to Lose a Country did for the global rise of Fascism and Together for the progressive politics of emotions as an antidote to new Fascism.
The book will define the identity of the 'homeless' beyond the clichés of victim and survivor. With a view of carving out from her personal 'homeless' experience, it will lay out the morality of survival. This specific knowledge will come to benefit everyone in the twenty-first century since even the most settled among us have to adapt to frequent, unpredictable changes.
However, Nation of Strangers will not be a survival manual. It will be a book that will show how we can live beautifully and humanely.
Praise for Ece Temelkuran:
'A brilliant analysis . . . It's one of the most important books anyone could read at the moment' - PHILIP PULLMAN
'Temelkuran is a brilliant writer, finding humour, hope and humanity in the darkest corners of our current malaise' - BRIAN ENO

About the Author
Ece Temelkuran is an award-winning Turkish writer, political thinker and public speaker whose work has been published worldwide. Her novels, Women Who Blow on Knots and The Time of Mute Swans, have been published in several languages and adapted to the stage. Temelkuran's two political essays, Deep Mountain: Across the Armenian-Turkish Divide and Turkey: The Insane and Melancholy, explore the connection between the personal and political. After she left her country in 2016, Temelkuran began writing in English. Her first book in this language, How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Fascism, received international praise. Her second, Together: A Manifesto Against the Heartless World offers 'a way out from the political and moral insanity' that is ushered by the global rise of fascism. Ece Temelkuran has lived in Beirut, Tunis, Oxford, Paris and Zagreb. She is currently based in Berlin and is on the advisory board of Progressive International and DemocracyNext.
