Building Free Life
Dialogues with Öcalan
From his solitary jail cell, Abdullah Ocalan has penned daring works that give profuse evidence of his position as one of the most significant thinkers of our day. His prison writings have mobilised tens of thousands of people and inspired a revolution in the making in northern Syria, while also penetrating the walls of academia triggering debate and reflection among countless scholars. So how do you engage in a meaningful dialogue with Abdullah Ocalan when he has been held in total isolation since April 2015? You compile a book of essays written by a diverse cast of luminaries, send it to Ocalan's jailers and hope that they deliver it to him.
