Cuando alguien como Stephane Hessel llama a la insurreccion pacifica», a desperezarse, a rebelarse, hay que escucharlo. Porque Hessel, a sus 93 anos, sabe de lo que habla: miembro de la Resistencia francesa, superviviente de Buchenwald, militante a favor de la independencia argelina y defensor de la causa palestina, este eterno luchador es, ademas, el unico redactor aun vivo de la Declaracion Universal de los Derechos Humanos de 1948. Por eso, cuando reclama un motivo de indignacion» para todos, hay que hacerle caso. Porque las razones para indignarse pueden parecer hoy menos nitidas, o el mundo demasiado complejo», pero siguen ahi, en la dictadura de los mercados, en el trato a los inmigrantes, a las minorias etnicas. Busquen y encontraran», nos dice, tomen la estafeta, indignense!», porque la peor actitud es la indiferencia. Si se comportan asi, perderan uno de los componentes esenciales que forman al hombre: la facultad de indignacion y el compromiso que la sigue». Un mensaje que ya ha contagiado a mas de un millon y medio de lectores en Francia. Indignate! Hoy se trata de no sucumbir bajo el huracan destructor del consumismo voraz y de la distraccion mediatica mientras nos aplican los recortes. Indignate! Sin violencia». Jose Luis Sampedro

Human Rights

A short, incisive political tract that criticizes the culture of finance capitalism and calls for a return to the humanist values of the enlightenment: equality, liberty, freedom as defined in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a return to community, mutual respect, freedom from poverty, and an end to theocracy and fundamentalism. The authors argue that a return to these values constitutes “a path to hope,” leading the way out of the present worldwide malaise brought on by economic collapse, moral failure, and an ignorance of history.
 
For the authors, 20th-century fascism was no mere abstraction—it was a brutal system brought on by a similar malaise, a system they fought against. This gives their book special urgency.
 
The Path to Hope is written by two esteemed French thinkers—94-year-old Stephane Hessel and 90-year-old Edgar Morin, following on the heels of Hessel’s Indignez-vous! (Time for Outrage!). Both books have become bestsellers in France and throughout Europe. Both have also become foundational documents underpinning the worldwide protest movement of which Occupy Wall Street is the American subset.
