Rojava - Revolution, War and the Future of Syria's Kurds (Hardcover)

The Kurdish territory of Rojava in Syria has become a watchword for
radical democracy, communalism and gender equality. But while
Western radicals continue to project their own values onto the
revolution, the complexities of the situation are often overlooked
or misunderstood. Based on over 17 years of research and fieldwork,
Thomas Schmidinger provides a detailed introduction to the history
and political situation in Rojava. Outlining the history of the
Kurds in Syria from the late Ottoman Empire until the Syrian civil
war, he describes the developments in Rojava since 2011: the
protests against the regime, the establishment of a Kurdish
para-state, the conflicts between the parties about the
administration of the Kurdish territory and how the PYD and its
People's Councils rule the territory. The book draws on interviews
with political leaders of different parties, civil society
activists, artists, fighters and religious leaders in order to
paint an complex picture of the historical conflict and the
contemporary situation.
