the Kurds of Syria

This book by Harriet Allsopp is an in-depth exploration of the sociopolitical repression faced by Kurds in Syria, also comprising detailed portraits of Kurdish political parties active there and the effects of this repressive environment on their capacity for radical or vocal opposition. It would be a relatively useful read for anyone interested in the Rojava Revolution, as this book lays out a rich and complex sub-national historical context for the events that have taken place in northern Syria since 2011.
