This is a brilliantly original reading of the nature of the resistance to the Turkish state's Kurdish policies by the Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement. The book is beautifully written, even lyrical in places, a kind of poetic tribute to the possibilities this movement embodies. ---Joan Wallach Scott, Institute for Advanced Study

The Mother, the Politician, and the Guerrilla is a captivating story of Kurdish women persuading us to listen attentively to women's political imagination. Drawing from postcolonial, decolonial and Black studies, the book poetically narrates and eloquently theorizes the Kurdish women's power to transform the ruling relations.---Shahrzad Mojab, coauthor of Revolutionary Learning: Marxism, Feminism and Knowledge This is a brilliantly original reading of the nature of the resistance to the Turkish state's Kurdish policies by the Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement.
