Rojava: an Alternative to Imperialism, Nationalism, and Islamism in the Middle East (an Introduction)

This introduction to "Rojava: An Alternative to Imperialism, Nationalism, and Islamism in the Middle East" looks at how the Rojava Revolution came into being in the largely-Kurdish communities of northern Syria from 2012 onwards. It also gives an overview of the context within which this experience arose. The main purpose of this book, however, is to summarise what has been happening in Rojava, evaluate the ideology behind it, and show why it is a truly inspirational process. In short, it is a must have for anyone wanting to learn more about contemporary Middle Eastern politics and the real-world search for an alternative to oppression, exploitation, and violence.
