Book Synopsis
Latif Tas investigates the triangular relationship between nationalism, justice and gender politics, to explore how influencing this dynamic allows authoritarian rulers to stay in power for longer and justify their actions for monopolising power.

Trade Review
"Betrayed by almost everyone, the Kurdish people have developed a politics of self-reliance and an innovative, democratic and feminist, nationalism. In this book, Latif Tas provides a rigorous ethnographic and political account of what the Kurds have done. Focused on Turkey and Syria, Tas's analysis is wonderfully toughminded, appreciative of the Kurdish alternative" but also critical of its shortcomings. This is a major contribution to our understanding of the Middle East. "" -Michael Waltzer, Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA
