In his second book, Abdullah Ocalan applies the political and
historical philosophy that was developed in the first volume of his
Prison Writings to the Kurdish question. The book addresses the
concrete political issues at the centre of the Kurdish question.
Ocalan calls for a 'Renaissance of the Middle East' where the
integration of democratic Western values and universal human rights
with the deeply rooted cultural values of the Middle Eastern
societies, especially the Kurdish, will form a new synthesis of
civilisations. Abdullah Ocalan was the leader of the Kurdish
Workers Party (PKK). He was eventually kidnapped while in Kenya in
1999, and has been in prison in Turkey ever since. Ocalan was the
most wanted man in Turkey for almost two decades until his
kidnapping. From 1984, under his leadership, the PKK fought for an
independent Kurdish state in the southeast of Turkey. In a
sustained popular uprising, tens of thousands of PKK guerrillas
took on the second largest army in NATO. The book begins with
Preliminary Notes by Cemil Bayik, military commander of the PKK.
