An exploration of the Zapatista project, from its conception to the present.

The Introduction is just marvelous in terms of clarity, and the discussion of vision. The plan is to savor this one. People who are interested in Rojava would likely enjoy this, or benefit from it.
(AK Press edition. I hope I'm in the right place here.)

Better than Kool-Aid! -Cowboy Bebop Volume 3 (Yutaka Nanten, Hajime Yatate)
5 stars
Content warning Not really a spoiler.
Excellent series of Manga books about interplanetary bounty hunters in the future.
One ex- cop, one ex- underworld, one cryogenic over-sleeper, an orphan of sorts and a dog (regular dog, not a talking dog). Finally I picked it up again and finished. Turned out nicely. No downers, really.
Fun reading. All three issues in this series recommended.
I thought we had one of the issues from the other series, Shooting Star, around here someplace, but can't find it lately.

Ordering this one from the publisher. Can't go wrong with Autonomedia. If I had realized this was from Autonomedia, would have ordered it long ago. If I still lived in NYC, would have checked out the library's copy. Certyainly there are no copies around here. The reviews on the Worldcat page are interesting, but, well, another deciding factor is the mentions that this one had on Dave Emory's show in the past.

Excellent
5 stars
Excellent look at the Rojava revolution from Janet Biehl, biographer and partner of Murray Bookchin. I can't recommend this enough. It is of course a graphic book, and non-fiction, so no surprises there.
A really good overview. As I understand it, Janet B. had ongoing contacts with the movement and visited N.E. Syria a bunch of times. Ocalan's ideas are discussed of course and the story of the battles against the Islamic State is mentioned. An Inspiring and Hopeful Account of the human achievements of A.A.N.E.S. /Revolutionary Rojava and life over there. Several towns and areas are profiled and she spoke to a good variety of folks there.
