500    "Revolution in Rojava, the first full book to appear on 
       the democratic gender-equal, cooperative revolution under 
       way in northern Syria, was originally published in German 
       in March 2015 VSA Verlag. This English version began as a 
       direct translation, but over the course of 16 months, it 
       has been extensively revised and updated, so in many 
       respects it is a new book."--Translator's note, page xi.

520    "Surrounded by enemies including ISIS and hostile Turkish 
       forces, the people in Syria's Rojava region are carving 
       out one of the most radically progressive societies on the
       planet. Visitors have been astounded by the success of 
       their project, a communally organised democracy which 
       considers women's equality indispensable, has a deep-
       reaching ecological policies, and rejects reactionary 
       nationalist ideology. This form of organization, labeled 
       democratic confederalism, is both fiercely anti-capitalist
       and boasts a self-defense capacity which is keeping ISIS 
       from their gates. Drawing on their own firsthand 
       experiences of working and fighting in the region, the 
       authors provide the first detailed account of a 
       revolutionary experiment and a new vision of politics and 
       society in the Middle East and beyond"--Back cover.
