Civilization: The Age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings, Paperback/Abdullah Ocalan

Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Abdullah Ocalan Translator: Havin Guneser Preface by: David Graeber This manifesto is the definitive work of Abdullahcalan, crucial for understanding the Kurdish revolution. Herecalan outlines a democratic alternative for the Middle East. A criticism that limits itself to capitalism is too superficial, calan argues, and turns his eyes to the underlying structures of civilization. Rethinking the methods of understanding culture, politics, and society, he provides the tools for what he calls a sociology of freedom. Civilization: The Age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings is the first book in a new five-volume work called Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization. In this work, Abdullahcalan distills 35 years of revolutionary theory and praxis and 10 years of solitary confinement in Turkish prisons. These reflections represent the essence of his ideas on society, knowledge, and power.
