Description
This is an interdisciplinary collection that examines the intersection of decolonization, ecological resistance, and the Kurdish freedom movement. Bringing together contributions from ten activist-scholars, the book offers unique insights into how Kurdish communities are responding to colonial violence, environmental degradation, and state repression through grassroots ecological initiatives.
