Der schmale Grat der Hoffnung

For many years, Jean Ziegler has dedicated himself, on behalf of the United Nations, to fighting for the people whom Frantz Fanon called the damned of the earth. Initially serving as the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, and later as Vice-President of the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council, he has fought against hunger and malnutrition, for human rights, and for peace. Jean Ziegler shares his experiences from these struggles, detailing both his successes and failures, shedding light on the imperial machinations behind the democratic facade, and analyzing the strategies of the plunderers of globalized financial capital. In both victory and defeat, this unyielding witness of our time questions, in light of the deadly games played by the powerful of this world: What can we do to ensure that the vision of a world organization inspired by Roosevelt and Churchill opens up political perspectives?.
