Ecological Solidarity and the Kurdish Freedom Movement: Thought,
Practice, Challenges, and Opportunities is a pioneering text that
examines the ideas about social ecology and communalism behind the
evolving political structures in the Kurdish region. The collection
evaluates practical green projects, including the Mesopotamian
Ecology Movement, Jinwar women's eco-village, food sovereignty in a
solidarity economy, environmental defenders in Iranian Kurdistan,
and Make Rojava Green Again. Contributors also critically reflect
on such contested themes as Alevi nature beliefs, anti-dam
demonstrations, human-rights law and climate change, the Gezi Park
protests, and forest fires. Throughout this volume, the
contributors consider the formidable challenges to the Kurdish
initiatives, such as state repression, damaged infrastructure, and
oil dependency. Nevertheless, contributors assert that the West has
much to learn from the Kurdish ecological paradigm, which offers
insight into social movement debates about development and
decolonization.
