Drawing from four years of research trips to northern and eastern Syria, Holmes highlights that the movement is founded on the idea of equality between people of different religious and ethnic backgrounds and does more to empower women and minorities than any other region of Syria. An in-depth examination of Rojava, this book tells the story of the statelet who both triumphed over ISIS and created a model of decentralized governance in Syria that could eventually be expanded if Assad were to ever fall UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197621035.001.0001 ER -
