«Indignai-Vos!» is the manifesto by Stéphane Hessel, published by Leya in paperback (48 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
A brief, quick-to-read manifesto that calls for awakening consciousness and fighting for democracy and human rights, with special attention to the Palestinian question. Hessel, a diplomat who fought against the Nazis and co-authored the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, invites readers to keep that struggle alive.
The original French work, Indignez-vous !, was published in 2010; this Brazilian Portuguese edition was translated by Marly Peres.
For those seeking a committed political reflection and an active defense of human rights; its brevity facilitates a direct reading.
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.
