The collection evaluates practical green projects, including the Mesopotamian Ecology Movement, Jinwar women’s eco-village, food sovereignty in a solidarity economy, environmental defenders in Iranian Kurdistan, and Make Rojava Green Again. Contributors also critically reflect on such contested themes as Alevi nature beliefs, anti-dam demonstrations, human-rights law and climate change, the Gezi Park protests, and forest fires. Throughout this volume, the contributors consider the formidable challenges to Kurdish initiatives, such as state repression, damaged infrastructure, and oil dependency. Nevertheless, contributors assert that the West has much to learn from the Kurdish ecological paradigm, which offers insight into social movement debates about development and decolonization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Ecology in the Kurdish Paradigm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Value of Social Ecology in the Struggles to Come\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Social Ecology in Öcalan’s Thinking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Ecological Self-Governmentality in Kurdish Space at a Time of Neoliberal Authoritarianism \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Radical or Reactionary Tomatoes?
