«La haine de l'Occident» is the political essay by Jean Ziegler, published by Albin Michel in paperback (299 pages, in French).
Jean Ziegler, UN rapporteur, analyzes the hostility that the peoples of the South direct at the West. The essay explores its roots, the domination that globalized capitalism imposes on the rest of the world, and how the West can assume responsibilities; the journey, from Nigeria to Bolivia, pays tribute to Aimé Césaire and Wole Soyinka.
The work belongs to the Essais collection by Albin Michel; in French, it was published in October 2008.
Work aimed at readers interested in geopolitics, North-South relations and criticism of globalized capitalism.
