Description: After the dissolution of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) in 2002, internal discussions ran high and fear and uncertainty about the future of the Kurdish freedom movement threatened to unravel the gains of decades of organizing and armed struggle. From his prison cell Abdullah calan intervened by penning his most influential work to date: Beyond State Power and Violence. With a stunning vision of a freedom movement centered on women's liberation democracy and ecology calan helped reinvigorate the Kurdish freedom movement by providing a revolutionary path forward with what is undoubtedly the furthest - reaching definition of democracy the world has ever seen. Here for the first time is the highly anticipated English translation of this monumental work. Beyond State Power and Violence is a breathtaking reconnaissance into life without the state an essential portrait of the PKK and the Kurdish freedom movement and an open blueprint for leftist organizing in the twenty - first century written by one of the most vitally important political luminaries of today. By carefully analyzing the past and present of the Middle East calan evaluates concrete prospects for the Kurdish people and arrives with his central proposal: recreate the Kurdish freedom movement along the lines of a new paradigm based on the principles of democratic confederalism and democratic autonomy. In the vast scope of this book calan examines the emergence of hierarchies and eventually classes in human societies and sketches his alternative the democratic - ecological society. This vision with a theoretical foundation of a nonviolent means of taking power has ushered in a new era for the Kurdish freedom movement while also offering a fresh and indispensable perspective on the global debate about a new socialism. calan's calls for nonhierarchical forms of democratic social organization deserve the careful attention of anyone interested in constructive social thought or rebuilding society along feminist and ecological lines.
