The Syrian Revolution
A Reader
To understand history we must position ourselves within it. To remember those who fell in the struggle for a better tomorrow is about the individual but also so much more. Perhaps as Omar would have put it; it’s about humans.
These are texts by Syrian revolutionaries, activists, intellectuals, anarchists, as well as interviews with such. Initially compiled in 2022, it has been updated and comes with renewed relevance due to the Assad regime being toppled end of last year.
120 pages, where the next chapter is still unwritten.

About the reader
This reader is a simple compilation composed out of 22 texts about the Syrian revolution. There is a common focus of the Western left, to which the editors count themselves, on North & Eastern Syria, the liberated area also called Rojava. Other parts of the struggle in this region have been widely sidelined. This has been criticised by many of the authors in this reader. Thus, the reader is an attempt to spread the views, ideas and efforts of revolutionary people in South and West Syria.
All texts have been published on websites, online archives, magazines before. The authors and interviewees have different approaches, views, and backgrounds. Readers are explicitly welcome to keep adding to and changing this compilation and spread it.
