Latif Tas explores the triangular relationship between nationalism, justice, and gender politics to understand how authoritarian rulers maintain power. The book examines how communities challenge existing state power, authoritarianism, and control through alternative legal and political practices established by the PKK. It focuses on the Kurdish political movements' success in achieving gender-based justice and creating an equal society.

Latif Tas investigates the triangular relationship between nationalism, justice, and gender politics to explore how influencing this dynamic allows authoritarian rulers to stay in power for longer and justify their actions for monopolizing power. Based on ethnographic research in Turkey, Syria, and Iraqi Kurdistan, as well as Kurdish diasporas in Europe, the book examines how communities challenge existing state power, authoritarianism, and control. It focuses on alternative legal and political practices established by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) such as local policing, informal judicial mechanisms, and taxing, and shows how this divergence from state-led systems forges a sense of community among Kurds and creates a de facto parallel state. It pays particular attention to the Kurdish political movements' success in achieving its aim of redressing gender-based injustices to create an equal society.
