In the fall of 2011, a group of TATORT activists journeyed into the
Kurdish regions of Turkey to learn how the theory of Democratic
Autonomy was being put into practice. They discovered a remarkable
experiment in face-to-face democracy--all the more notable for
being carried out in wartime.
Since 2005, under the most difficult of conditions, the movement in
North Kurdistan has created structures for a democratic, ecological
and gender-liberated society. At its core is a system of councils
in villages, cities, and neighborhoods. These structures do not yet
offer a way of life that is fully independent of the nation-state
and the market economy, but they nonetheless reveal a potent civil
counter-power.
The interviews and documentation in this book provide thought
provoking glimpses into the practical implementation of a new left
vision. The radical democratic awakening of the Kurds may serve as
an inspiration for social change in the Middle East and
elsewhere.
