Since the 1980s, Kurdish women have mobilized across Turkey, the Middle East, and Europe, confronting war, displacement, and repression to forge one of the most dynamic transnational women's movements of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eKurdish Women's Transnational Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e, Nisa Göksel draws on years of multisite ethnography and archival research to illuminate the lives of ex-guerrillas, local activists, politicians, activist mothers, and migrant women who have carried the struggle across borders, advocating for the democratic and gendered transformation of Kurdistan and the wider Middle East. Moving beyond binary portrayals of women as either revolutionaries or terrorists, Göksel shows how they have created alternative political subjectivities, new political spaces, and novel gendered strategies at the precarious intersection of local and transnational politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book reveals how politically active Kurdish women navigate the liminal terrain between violence and nonviolence, family and politics, war and democracy. It traces their efforts to transform intimate spheres of kinship alongside public arenas of activism, municipal governance, and transnational advocacy. With ethnographic richness and theoretical depth, Göksel offers urgent insights into the resilience of women's movements under authoritarianism, displacement, and war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nisa Göksel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295754478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295754475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Nisa Göksel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637481292031,"sku":"9780295754475","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87803a44-ff03-4666-a9d4-9e6fba3aab7e.jpg?v=1765116466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kurdish-womens-transnational-resistance-nisa-gziksel-9780295754475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
