Recenzii

'Francis O'Connor's clearly argued and deeply grounded book provides a comprehensive overview of the PKK and its support networks, merging a meticulous empirical overview of the Kurdish awakening and struggle with theoretical frameworks drawn from social movements and political violence literature. His work offers an original and informative source for understanding the mobilisation dynamics of an armed group and the urban and rural dynamics of an enduring conflict from a socio-spatial perspective. An analytically acute, beautifully written and timely book.' Bahar Baser, University of Coventry
'O'Connor has made a significant contribution to the study of insurgency. His thoroughly researched book explains the multi-layered practices and interactions through which an insurgent movement establishes and maintains its rural and urban constituency. While taking the Kurdistan Worker Party PKK as case study, the author does not lose sight of the wider theoretical implications of his work.' Joost Jongerden, Associate Professor, Rural Sociology Group, Wageningen University
'O'Connor's book brings our understanding of the PKK insurgency in Turkey to the next level. Theoretically informed, very well researched and eminently readable, O'Connor's study explains how a group like the PKK has been able to withstand the full might of the Turkish state for the last forty years.' David Romano, Thomas G. Strong Chair in Middle East Politics, Missouri State University
