The Political Thought of Abdullah Öcalan
These are the essential writings of a man who inspired a new, egalitarian socialist regime in the Middle East, which is currently fighting for survival against religious extremism and state violence. Abdullah Ocalan led the struggle for Kurdish liberation for more than 20 years until his capture in 1999. Now, writing from prison in Turkey, he has inspired a new political movement. Called Democratic Confederalism, this revolutionary model is developing on the ground in parts of Syria and Turkey; it represents an alternative to religious sectarianism, patriarchy, capitalism and chauvinistic nationalism, providing the blueprint for a burgeoning radical democratic society. This selection of Ocalan's writings is an indispensable introduction for anyone wanting to engage with his political ideas. His central concepts address the Kurdish question, gender, Democratic Confederalism and the future of the nation. With The Political Thought of Abdullah Ocalan, his most influential ideas can now

Look
Look genomströmmas av krigets ständigt pågående konsekvenser, förlusten av människoliv samt övergreppen som förändrar vårt vardagliga sätt att uttrycka oss. Solmaz Sharif tecknar fragmenterade berättelser i krigets eftermäle där sorgen idag ekar av de som dödades då, de som dödas i dagens efterföljande krig och ett samhälle som genomströmmas av rasism, diskriminering och misstänkliggörande. Genom att utgå från uttryck i försvarsdepartementets militära ordbok ger Sharif prov på det våld som utförs mot språket, hur eufemismer används för att sterilisera det, kontrollera dess påverkan och underminera vår gemensamma beslutsamhet. Med lyrisk precision använder hon sig av listor, protokoll, brottstycken, brev för att vända terminologin och därmed blottlägga språkets och krigets förövare. Solmaz Sharif är född 1986 i Istanbul av iranska föräldrar och uppväxt i Texas, Alabama och Kalifornien. 2016 debuterade hon med diktsamlingen Look för vilken hon nominerades till såväl National Book Award som PEN Open Book Award och boken utsågs av Washington Post till årets bästa diktsamling. Sharif undervisar på Stanford University och med Ida Börjel och Jennifer Hayashidas översättning av Look introduceras hon på svenska.
