Persecuted for much of the 20th century, they dared to try to overcome social fragmentation by affirming social solidarity among all the region's ethnic and religious peoples. As Syria plunged into civil war, the Kurds and their Arab and Assyrian allies established a self-governing polity that was not only multiethnic but democratic. And women were not only permitted but encouraged to participate in all social roles alongside men, including political and military roles. To implement these goals, Rojava wanted to live in peace with its neighbors. Instead, it soon faced invasion by ISIS, a force that was in every way its opposite. ISIS attacked its neighbors in Iraq and Syria, imposing theocratic, tyrannical, femicidal rule on them. Those who might have resisted fled in terror. But when ISIS attacked the mostly Kurdish city of Kobane and overran much of it, the YPG and YPJ, or people's militias, declined to flee. Instead they resisted, and several countries, seeing their valiant resistance, formed an international coalition to assist them militarily. While the YPG and YPJ fought on the ground, the coalition coordinated airstrikes with them. They liberated village after village and in March 2019 captured ISIS's last territory in Syria. Around that time, two UK-based filmmakers invited the author to spend a month in Rojava making a film. She accepted, and arrived to explore the society and interview people. During that month, she explored how the revolution had progressed and especially the effects of the war on the society. She found that the war had reinforced social solidarity and welded together the multiethnic, gender-liberated society. As one man in Kobane told her, "Our blood got mixed."" -- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Chiefly illustrations. 505 0 $a Islamic state -- Why I'm here -- Links in a chain -- A place of refugees -- The revolution of 2012 -- Women's protection units (YPJ) -- Women and men -- Qamislo scenes -- Economics -- Kobane plus four years -- Afrin -- Security -- Social ecology -- Democracy -- Self-administration. 610 20 $a IS (Organization) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 648 7 $a Since 2011 $2 fast 650 0 $a Kurds $z Syria $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Women and socialism $z Syria $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z Syria. 650 7 $a Kurds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989403 651 0 $a Syria $x History $y Civil War, 2011- $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 7 $a Syria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208757 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726630 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Nonfiction comics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921721 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nonfiction comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bandes dessineÌes. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000295 710 2 $a PM Press (Firm), $e publisher. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781629639598 830 0 $a Kairos (PM Press (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A04114A4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
