This book was originally published in 2015 (Les Blancs, les Juifs et nous: Vers une politique de l'amour révolutionnaire, La Fabrique 2) and can be read as a decolonial manifesto for the 21st century, or, more precisely, as an invitation toward a politics of revolutionary love, which does not belong to romanticism, but to justice. It is a call to decolonize the world, to recognize that the privileges of few are built on the oppression of many. The presentation and discussion of the book Los blancos, los judíos y nosotros.
