From his prison cell, Abdullah \u00d6calan intervened by penning his most influential work to date: <span class=\"a-text-italic\">Beyond State, Power, and Violence<\/span>. With a stunning vision of a freedom movement centered on women\u2019s liberation, democracy, and ecology, \u00d6calan helped reinvigorate the Kurdish freedom movement by providing a revolutionary path forward with what is undoubtedly the furthest-reaching definition of democracy the world has ever seen. Here, for the first time, is the highly anticipated English translation of this monumental work.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Beyond State, Power, and Violence<\/span> is a breathtaking reconnaissance into life without the state, an essential portrait of the PKK and the Kurdish freedom movement, and an open blueprint for leftist organizing in the twenty-first century, written by one of the most vitally important political luminaries of today.<\/p>\n<p>By carefully analyzing the past and present of the Middle East, \u00d6calan evaluates concrete prospects for the Kurdish people and arrives with his central proposal: recreate the Kurdish freedom movement along the lines of a new paradigm based on the principles of democratic confederalism and democratic autonomy. In the vast scope of this book, \u00d6calan examines the emergence of hierarchies and eventually classes in human societies and sketches his alternative, the democratic-ecological society. This vision, with a theoretical foundation of a nonviolent means of taking power, has ushered in a new era for the Kurdish freedom movement while also offering a fresh and indispensable perspective on the global debate about a new socialism. \u00d6calan\u2019s calls for nonhierarchical forms of democratic social organization deserve the careful attention of anyone interested in constructive social thought or rebuilding society along feminist and ecological lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Published: 10\/25\/2022 | Format: Paperback\/Hardcover | Page count: 688<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59476,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[49],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-59479","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-books","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/59479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=59479"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=59479"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=59479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
