Latif Tas investigates the triangular relationship between
nationalism, justice and gender politics to explore how influencing
this dynamic allows authoritarian rulers to stay in power for
longer and justify their actions for monopolising power. Based on
ethnographic research in Turkey, Syria, and Iraqi Kurdistan, as
well as Kurdish diasporas in Europe, the book examines how
communities challenge existing state power, authoritarianism and
control. It focuses on alternative legal and political practices
established by the PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) such as local
policing, informal judicial mechanisms and taxing, and shows how
this divergence from state-led systems forges a sense of community
among Kurds and creates a de-facto parallel state. It pays
particular attention to the Kurdish political movement's success in
achieving its aim of redressing gender-based injustices to create
an equal society.
