Description
In 2012, the Kurdish people of northern Syria embarked on an ambitious project to create a multiethnic society in the Middle East. This experiment in social solidarity and democracy was met with resistance from ISIS, a force that sought to impose its own brand of tyranny. As the conflict escalated, the YPG and YPJ, or people's militias, refused to flee their homes, instead choosing to resist the invasion. The international community took notice of their bravery and formed an alliance to assist them militarily. This book tells the story of Rojava, a society that has been shaped by its experiences in war. Janet Biehl spent a month in Rojava, exploring how the revolution had progressed and speaking with those who lived there. Her account offers a unique insight into the effects of war on this remarkable community, revealing how it has strengthened social bonds and reinforced its commitment to democracy and equality.
