REVOLUTION IN #ROJAVA BY #MICHAEL_KNAPP, #ANJA_FLACH, AND #ERCAN_AYBOGA
In the last decades, “weak thought” philosophies and postmodern approaches have accustomed a great part of critical scholarship to think that revolutions are no longer suitable for the political agenda of the 21st century. According to the authors of Revolution in Rojava, the Rojava experience challenges this assumption. Based in Germany and in Syria, Michael Knapp, Anja Flach, and Ercan Ayboga have been direct witnesses of this revolution and provide an example of participatory and sympathetic social fieldwork that uses “a feminist, internationalist, ecological and left-libertarian approach” (xxvi). The book was translated into English by Janet Biehl, anarchist thinker and biographer of Murray Bookchin (1926-2001), and the foreword was written by another anarchist scholar, David Graeber, who argues that this experience upsets long-lasting assumptions that “peoples of the Middle East were desperately backwards” (xiii).
