>What is it about the social structures of Rojava that so inspires the fierce loyalty of its defenders and its people? > > This book answers that question. In language that bridges the Utopian and the concrete, the poetic and the everyday, the Internationalist Commune of Rojava has produced both a vision and a manual for what a free, ecological society can look like. In these pages you will find a philosophical introduction to the idea of social ecology, a theory that argues that only when we end the hierarchical relations between human beings (men over women, young over old, one ethnicity or religion over another, etc. ) will we be able to heal our relationship with the natural world. ” – Debbie Bookchin (2018) Illustrated by Matt Bonner
