Drawing parallels between atrocities committed against the Kurdsby the Turkish State, and the racist police brutality, and governmentsanctioned murders in the UK, James Kelman shatters the myth of Westernexceptionalism,revealing the universality of terror campaigns leviedagainst the most vulnerable, and calling on a global citizenship tostand in solidarity with victims of oppression. Kelman's case againstthe Turkish and British governments is not just a litany of murders, oran impassioned plea--it is a cool-headed take down of the State and anessential primer for revolutionaries.
