“Aynur Unal is a talented scholar who writes with passion and conviction in a way that delivers on what C Wright Mills positioned as the intersections of history and biography. Using biographical starting points as the anchor for the research problem, Aynur Unal examines the revelatory power of political ephemera to significant effect. Such an approach means this book will appeal to a broad audience, extending beyond those focused on Kurdishness, indigeneity, or rights movements.”
