SUMMARY:Pen Fight InHouse: Thomas Schmidinger - Rojava: Revolution\, War and the Future of Syria's Kurds
DESCRIPTION:Join Partisan Collective X Pen Fight and Pluto Press for an evening lecture and discussion with Thomas Schmidinger\, author of Rojava: Revolution\, War and the Future of Syria’s Kurds\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Kurdish territory of Rojava in Syria has become a watchword for radical democracy\, communalism and gender equality. But while Western radicals continue to project their own values onto the revolution\, the complexities of the situation are often overlooked or misunderstood.\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on over 17 years of research and fieldwork\, Thomas Schmidinger provides a detailed introduction to the history and political situation in Rojava. Outlining the history of the Kurds in Syria from the late Ottoman Empire until the Syrian civil war\, he describes the developments in Rojava since 2011: the protests against the regime\, the establishment of a Kurdish para-state\, the conflicts between the parties about the administration of the Kurdish territory and how the PYD and its People’s Councils rule the territory.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe book draws on interviews with political leaders of different parties\, civil society activists\, artists\, fighters and religious leaders in order to paint an complex picture of the historical conflict and the contemporary situation.\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Schmidinger is a Political Scientist and Cultural Anthropologist based at the University of Vienna. He is Secretary General of the Austrian Association for Kurdish studies. He is the author of Rojava (Pluto\, 2018)\, which received the Mezlum Bagok award. He has written extensively on Kurdistan\, Sudan\, Kosovo\, jihadism\, migration and Muslim communities in Europa.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe author will be discussing his book\, and there will be time for a Q&A afterwards. Copies of Rojava: Revolution\, War and the Future of Syria’s Kurds will be available to purchase too.
