フランス語が、分からないので、英語版の30ページ程の小冊子をアマゾンで、購読した。著者は、1917年生まれの元フランスのナチに対するレジスタンス運動の闘士で、ゲシュタポに、2度に亘り、拘束された後、逃走し、戦後は、外交官として、国連を舞台に、人権活動を支援した経歴で、この著作を93歳で、著している。アウトレージというから、Takeshi Kitanoのバイオレンス・ヤクザ映画ではない。もっとも、そのバイオレンスに対する考え方には、停留では、決して、似て非なるものでも決してない。昨年の暮れに、フランスで、発表されて以来、60万部を突破したというから、その影響力は、特に、若者を中心に、この老闘士の遺言とも言える著作は、侮れない。とりわけ、9.11 以降のテロリズムや、イスラエルによるガザ地区の占領、パレスチナによる抵抗運動への論評は、その年齢に関係無く、考えさせられるものがある。必ずしも、テロリズムによる暴力を許容するものではないし、むしろ、非暴力主義による「希望」を行動の主軸に、置いていることは、著者の究極の理想であった男女平等・反貧困・自由・平等・友愛・人権擁護の立場からすれば、当然の主張であろう。むしろ、否定はしつつも、余りにも巨大な暴力(ナチズムであれ、何であれ)を前にした抵抗運動、「憤り」には、理解が出来るとするところは、多様な文化を許容しようとするフランスのこれまでの移民に対する政策を、垣間見ることが出来る。この辺は、テロリズムに対するアメリカ的な考え方とは、異なり、やはり、アルジェリアの独立運動や対独レジスタンス運動などを、経験したフランスならではの考え方であろうか。又、サルトルの引用では、私達が、60年代の後半に、影響を受けた、「抑圧と非寛容」等のレヴィ・ストロースとの「弁証法的理性批判」、実存主義と構造主義との論争を、想起させるものがある。いずれにせよ、私達の子供の頃、幼い子供心に影響を受けた、当時実在したインドのマハトマ・ガンジーや、ネルーの高い洗練された理想と哲学を有した「非暴力主義的抵抗」を、再び、想い起こさせる。NYでの反貧困・反差別デモ、中東での民主化デモ、を見るにつけても、日本の若者だけではなく、全世代を超えて、この老人の「若く、力強い精神パワー」を、ひとかけらでも、分けて貰いたいものである。To Create is to Resist, To Resist is to Create という最後の章での言葉は、何とも、重いし、又、マス・メディアに対する不信の念と新しいメディア媒体の興隆に対する期待は、興味深い。「連帯を求めて、孤立を恐れず、力及ばずして倒れることを辞さないが,力を尽くさずして挫けることを拒否する。」という言葉が、心の底のどこからか、ふと、溶け出してきた。レジスタンスのきっかけとなる動機とは、Outrageであると。 今や、現代は、まさに、Time for Outrage ! なのであると。「造反有理」である。中国では、一体、どう読まれるのであろうか?フランス映画の「影の軍隊」を、又、見たくなった。

レビュー
'The book urges the French, and everyone else, to recapture the wartime spirit of resistance to the Nazis by rejecting the "insolent, selfish" power of money and markets and by defending the social "values of modern democracy"' --Independent 'Indignez-Vous! is creating the sort of stir in France Emile Zola did in 1898, when he published J'Accuse!' The National Post 'Like a song you hum or a film you recommend to friends, Indignez-Vous! crystallises the spirit of the time. To buy it is a militant act, a gesture towards community and participation in a collective emotion' Liberation

非暴力であることは正しいことだが,すべての道を閉ざされた時に止むを得ず実力行使に出ることがある。 本書は歴史を振り返り、一部のものだけが潤い、多くの人びと、とりわけ若者が職業につくことが出来ない現状から、今こそ立ち上がって戦うべき時である、と呼びかけている。僅か30ページ足らずの文章だが、共感できることが多い。原書はフランス語である。和訳はまだでていないので、日本の若者は一日も早く英語版を読むことを強くお勧めする。

Be outraged
2015年6月23日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The book encouraged me to look critically at the state of affairs in our country and government. Especially the government decisions/policies that reduce the benefits/subsidies to people's education and welfare and small farmers while increasing the tax benefits and subsidies to big businesses is reason enough to get outraged. I like the message that we all need to find a reason to be outraged and take constructive and pacifist action about it.

Grandpa Hessel Gives Sage Advice
2013年8月12日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Hessel gives a short distillation of current events that still rankle him, after so many years in foreign service. The diplomat is required to hold his tongue, I am sure, for his professional duties include discretion. This book is an example of the eloquence of the twilight years, combined with frustration against neo-conservatism and a direct appeal to younger generations to take up the cause of social justice.
All-in-all a wonderful conversational piece that inspires and educates.

This book is brief, powerful, passionate and inspirational. There is no need to say anything more. Hessel died earlier this year after a lifetime of struggle for justice and peace but his spirit lives on.

Record-breaking sales in French as Indignez-vous! We need this English version.
2011年2月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
"Time for Outrage" (Quartet Books in the UK) is a translation of a book in French, "Indignez-vous!" (Indigene Editions in France) one of two recent books from France that have been stirring things up. I (Clayton Hallmark) have written extensively on these on the Internet ( TimeforOutrage dot net ).
"Indignez-vous!", basically just 12 pages of text (!)plus notes,shook up France at year end with record sales, and possibly its former colony Tunisia, in which riots took down the government just before the Egypt riots.
I'll provide a few excerpts later so you get the gist of Time for Outrage, which is sure to be an important book in English.
Author Stephane Hessel is, to France, a Justin Bieber-scale personality phenomenon at the other end of the age scale. He is 94 and wants us to get mad and take to the streets - peacefully. Peacefully because he thinks there is hope for reform. More is at timeforoutrage dot net. Hessel has been stirring things up for a long time: He helped to write the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights (the word "Universal" is key, meaning the rights are inherent and not the state's to grant or deny), which was adopted in 1948 and based on an earlier program of the Free French resistance Hessel was part of. He thinks this declaration helped to free colonies such as Tunisia and Algeria in earlier revolts.
One way to understand the importance of this book is to compare it to the other current French literary phenom, "The Coming Insurrection" by the Invisible Committee thecominginsurrection dot net , which Glenn Beck of has been concentrating on in his Fox News broadcasts in early 2011. That book was translated to English recently and is available at Amazon. (For more, you can see my postings under Clayton Hallmark on the Internet.)
Latinos in America, Roma in Europe, and Palestinians take note: These books are about your rights and recourses.
Stephane Hessel's little book "Indignez-vous!" ("Get Indignant!" or "Get Outraged"), or "Time for Outrage," says history is a story of human progress, step by step, toward individual rights for all. Mr. Hessel quotes the UN Declaration on Universal Human Rights, which he helped to write, in saying "everyone has the right to a nationality," even, he says, undocumented "illegal" immigrants everywhere and displaced Palestinians in the Middle East). Also "everyone has a right to social security" (with little S's, meaning Freedom from Want for all) and to "rights indispensable for his [and her] dignity and the free development of his personality."
You have to read all of this in either language version ("Time for Outrage" or "Indignez-vous!") of Hessel's book to get the power of this. Get a hard copy - much better for thumbing through and waving around in an act of defiance timeforoutrage dot net.
Stephane Hessel thinks humanity will get there (achieve universal rights) but, poignantly, that he like Martin Luther King might not make it to the mountaintop. He is 94 years old as of this writing in February 2011. And like MLK he thinks nonviolence is the way. There are exceptions, "when people are occupied by forces immensely superior to their own."
Before you read further, I tell you that I am siding with "The Coming Insurrection." Of course I'll tell you why. .
However, before getting to that, Mr. Hessel's book is as if he wrote the script for the protests in Egypt and nearby countries, which is why you need to buy a copy of "Indignez-vous!" or "The Coming Outrage" right now.
In 2009, already in his nineties, he came with his wife to the Occupied Territories, he saw the aftermath of Israel's "Operation Cast Lead" violence in Gaza, and he got outraged - 1400 civilians killed and only 50 Israeli soldiers only injured. The plight of the Occupied Territories is today the main source of Mr. Hessel's long-running moral indignation.
It is "unbearable," Stephane Hessel says, how Israel is treating the Palestinians. "Alas," he says, "history does not give enough examples of people who draw lessons from their own history."
Inidignez-Vous! / Time for Outrage discusses two views of history, one optimistic and one pessimistic. Hessel, the wise old philosopher, takes this view: "But my natural optimism, which wants all that is desirable to be possible, carried me rather towards Hegel. Hegelism interprets the long history of humanity as having a meaning: It is the freedom of man progressing step by step. History is made of successive shocks, and the taking into account of challenges. The history of societies thus advances; and in the end, man having attained his full freedom, we have the democratic state in its ideal form."
And then there is the other view, which led a friend of his father to commit suicide, and it's illustrated by the painting Angelus Novus by Paul Klee. "It says progress is made by freedom of competition, striving for "always more"; it can be as if living in a devastating hurricane." The friend interpreted the painting as showing the angel opening its arms as if to hold back a tempest, which is identified with incessant progress. This is the "Life is just one damn thing after another" view of life. (A friend of Rockeller is said to have made this comment on learning the Oil Trust was being busted. Perhaps this is why Rockefeller suffered clinical depression for most of life despite his wealth.) This, not Hessel's view, is the one of thecominginsurrection.
While Stephane Hessel's stance is summed up in the title "Indignez-vous!", which means, literally, "Get indignant!", "The Coming Insurrrection" declares, "It is useless to get indignant about openly unconstitutional laws .... It's futile to LEGALLY protest the complete implosion of the legal framework."
In "Time for Outrage," Hessel sees a way out in reforming the edifice of Western civilization. But the cornice-eagles are falling onto the the sidewalk. People are falling through the rotten old floors. It's so ugly that people can't stand to live in or near it, and it's already collapsing anyway. Why, somebody might get killed.
Perhaps somebody like Mr. Hessel might be the architect of a new edifice. But are there any more like this 94-year-old hero?
Perhaps the situation in Western Civilization is hopeless and people must follow a part of his teaching that is elaborated upon in the other book, for hopeless situations. Mr. Hessel's own teaching, in "Time for Change / Indignez-vou!" on hopelessness is: "... it is necessary to acknowledge that when people are occupied by forces immensely superior to their own, popular reaction cannot be altogether bloodless." Also: "...they [Gazans] can explain this gesture [launching rockets] by the exasperation of Gazans. In the notion of exasperation, it is necessary to understand violence as the regrettable conclusion of situations not acceptable to those who are subjected to them." timeforoutrage dot net
In urging restraint in the present situation, where Mr. Obama seems to be a failed last hope for Americans as well as the Arab world, perhaps it is Mr. Hessel himself whose memory of his own history in the early 1940s is getting a litle foggy.
Like Mr. Hessel's book, "The Coming Insurrection" explains situations of hopelessness, but in more detail. It also shows how hopelessness makes starting over necessary. Hessel believes that hopelessness can be overcome by indignant protest and resistance that will bring needed change. The Invisible Committee believes Western Civilization itself is hopeless. (Did Obama really mean it when he said, "Yes we can!"? As Tavis Smiley says, he "is trying to out-Republican the Republicans.")
In America there is no such thing as loyal opposition, no Republican versus Democrat. For at least 30 years, there has been, effectively, ONE party in the USA with two wings, Republican plus Democrat, "Republicrats." Neither wing is loyal to the nation, the people, human rights -- to anyone or any thing.
Lobbyists buy out politicians of both sides until politicians become rich enough to retire in ease and luxury from public "service." This form of government became totally dominant about 30 years ago.
Obviously there is no way of escaping this long-endured trap other than by the methods described by the French book "The Coming Insurrection" (since translated and available at Amazon). Protests seem to have produced meaningful change recently in Tunisia, but it is by no means clear that the massive protests in Egypt will do the same. Don't be surprised if Mubarak or someone like him survives as head of a puppet government. Read "The Coming Insurrection" to see why mere indignant protest might fail in Egypt, or the US for that matter.
Now is the "Time for Outrage" and, soon possibly, in the US and Egypt, "The Coming Insurrection."

Stephane Hessel has seen it all and he urges us to take the present state of world affairs very seriously. He invites us to speak out, shout out, allow our outrage to empower us.
It is time to discard our politically correct passifist ways and take to the streets.
