«Indigneu-vos!» is the political essay by Stéphane Hessel, published by Destino Catalán in paperback (64 pages, in Catalan).
Stéphane Hessel, a survivor of Buchenwald and drafter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, defends indignation as the driving force of civic commitment. Hessel's plea, with a foreword by José Luis Sampedro, calls for peaceful insurrection against indifference, the power of markets, consumerism, and media distraction.
The Catalan edition of «Indigneu-vos!» belongs to the L'ANCORA collection (no. 216) and was published in March 2011. Translation by Maria Llopis Freixas; the original title is «Indignez-vous !».
For readers of political and social essays interested in citizen activism and the figure of Stéphane Hessel.
Stéphane Frédéric Hessel was a French diplomat, ambassador, writer, concentration camp survivor, Resistance member and BCRA agent. Born German, he became a naturalised French citizen in 1939. He became an observer of the editing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. In 2011 he was named by Foreign Policy magazine in its list of top global thinkers. In later years his activism focused on economic inequalities, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and protection for the post–World War II social vision. His short book Time for Outrage! sold 4.5 million copies worldwide. Hessel and his book were linked and cited as an inspiration for the Spanish Indignados, the Arab Spring, the American Occupy Wall Street movement and other political movements.
