The Mother, the Politician, and the Guerrilla intervenes in
discussions on decolonialism and feminism by introducing the
example of the Kurdish Women’s Freedom Movement. Üstündağ
shows how the practices and the concepts of the movement contribute
to debates on how the past, present, and future can be critically
rethought in revolutionary ways. In the movement’s images,
figures, voices, bodies, and their reverberations Üstündağ
elaborates a new political imagination that has emerged in
Kurdistan through women’s acts and speech. This political
imagination unfolds between flesh, body, voice, language. It is the
result of Kurdish women’s desire to find new ways of being and
becoming, between the necessary and the possible. Focusing on the
figures of the mother, the woman politician and woman guerilla,
Üstündağ argues that the Kurdish Women’s Freedom Movement
changes what politics consists of, including its matter,
relationality, temporality, and spatiality. Although anchored in
the specific Kurdish experiences, the book puts the movement into
conversation with feminist political theory, psychoanalysis, Black
Studies, Queer Studies, and Decolonial Studies. In solidarity with
the Kurdish Movement’s tradition of resistance to History with a
capital H that Kurds have built through reiterated performance, the
book seeks to establish what new entanglements with wide-ranging
thought the movement offers as a provocation for contemporary
politics.
