Kobane Calling
"For five months, the fanatical soldier-terrorists of the Islamic State laid siege to the Kurdish-held city of Koban, in northern Syria, before finally being turned back by the men and women of the Kurdish militias: the Peoples Protection Units (the YPG) and the Women's Protection Units (the YPJ). When an Italian cartoonist travels across Turke, Kurdish-held Iraq, and rebel-held Syria to document their struggle against ISIS, what he finds is anything but simple." - back cover.
Kobane Calling
"Kobane calling is the story of Italian comic book artist Zerocalcare's journey to Jurdistan in 2015 during the battle for Kobane. This battle saw revolutionary defence forces, the YPG and YPJ, defend the city of Kobane and the wider Rojava revolution from the forces of ISIS. Published by the Plan C, an anticapitalist organisation based in the UK, it also contains an introduction by it's Rojava Solidarity cluster and a comprehensive interview with a volunteer working within the revolution. This wonderfully illustrated book is a great introduction to the revolution in Rojava."--Page 4 of cover.
Kobane Calling
Tre viaggi, Turchia, Iraq, Siria, il Kurdistan come i telegiornali non lo raccontano. Le macerie di Kobane e un popolo intero in guerra per difendere il proprio diritto a esistere, proteggendo labili confini la cui esistenza non è sancita da nessun atlante geografico. Zerocalcare ci racconta, con sguardo lucido e solo a tratti ironico, una delle più importanti battaglie per la libertà silenziosamente in corso al mondo. Un libro importante, difficile da inquadrare in poche parole, che raccoglie le due storie già apparse su Internazionale e quasi duecento pagine in più di diario di quei viaggi nel Rojava, la regione che i curdi stanno cercando di trasformare in un'utopia democratica senza uguali in Medio Oriente e forse al mondo.
