Abdullah Öcalan (1948-) co-founded the militant Kurdish movement PKK in 1978. Öcalan was abducted in 1999 and is still imprisoned on the island of İmralı. While in prison, Öcalan has initiated a bold peace process with Turkey, and explored alternatives to a Kurdish nation-state. Öcalan is still regarded as the undisputed leader by a majority of the Kurdish people. Havin Guneser is an engineer, journalist, and women's rights activist. She is a spokesperson for the International Initiative Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan-Peace in Kurdistan. David Graeber is an anthropologist and activist. He is professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics and has been active in numerous direct action groups. One of his best known books is Debt: The First 5000 Years (2011).
"Considering the circumstances under which the book was written, I'd say the achievement here is quite impressive. Abdullah Ocalan seems to have done a better job writing with the extremely limited resources allowed him by his jailers than authors like Francis Fukuyama or Jared Diamond did with access to the world's finest research libraries." --David Graeber"
