Fondateur du Parti des travailleurs kurdes (PKK), Abdullah Öcalan est détenu par l'État turc sur l'île-prison d'Imrali depuis 1999. Entretenant des contacts avec de nombreux intellectuels dont Murray Bookchin (fondateur de l'écologie sociale), Öcalan n'a cessé de réfléchir à des modèles politiques alternatifs. Écrit comme un plaidoyer à l'intention de la Cour européenne des Droits de l'homme, le Manifeste pour une civilisation démocratique compte cinq volumes, dont la présente édition est la première en langue française. Ce second volume s'appuie sur les travaux de Fernand Braudel pour explorer l'histoire des civilisations et étudier l'avènement d'une modernité capitaliste, décrite comme une aberration basée sur un triptyque capitalisme, industrialisme, État-Nation.

These are the essential writings of a man who inspired a new, egalitarian socialist regime in the Middle East, which is currently fighting for survival against religious extremism and state violence. Abdullah Ocalan led the struggle for Kurdish liberation for more than 20 years until his capture in 1999. Now, writing from prison in Turkey, he has inspired a new political movement. Called Democratic Confederalism, this revolutionary model is developing on the ground in parts of Syria and Turkey; it represents an alternative to religious sectarianism, patriarchy, capitalism and chauvinistic nationalism, providing the blueprint for a burgeoning radical democratic society.This selection of Ocalan's writings is an indispensable introduction for anyone wanting to engage with his political ideas. His central concepts address the Kurdish question, gender, Democratic Confederalism and the future of the nation. With The Political Thought of Abdullah Ocalan, his most influential ideas can now be considered and debated in the light of his continuing legacy, most notably in the ongoing revolution in Rojava.
