Why people recommend it
Sara by Sakine Cansız is the autobiography of a prominent Kurdish revolutionary who co-founded the Kurdistan Workers' Party. On an episode of Behind the Bastards titled It Could Happen Here Weekly 61, broadcast in December 2022, Megan Bodet recommended this book to listeners. Specifically, Megan Bodet stated that it was an essential read for anyone interested in the Kurdish movement, revolutionary women's movements anywhere in the world, or any related topics. She noted that the author held the distinction of being the sole woman present during the founding of the PKK. Through this recommendation, the podcast highlighted the historical significance of the text for understanding female leadership within armed political struggles and underground revolutionary networks. The endorsement underscored the book's value as a primary source for political scientists, historians, and activists seeking authentic perspectives from within the Kurdish liberation struggle, making it a vital reference for global social movements and the history of twentieth-century political resistance in the Middle East.
