This manifesto is the definitive work of Abdullah OEcalan, crucial for understanding the Kurdish revolution. Here OEcalan outlines a democratic alternative for the Middle East.

A criticism that limits itself to capitalism is too superficial, OEcalan argues, and turns his eyes to the underlying structures of civilization. Rethinking the methods of understanding culture, politics, and society, he provides the tools for what he calls a sociology of freedom.

Civilization: The Age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings is the first book in a new five-volume work called Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization.

In this work, Abdullah OEcalan distills 35 years of revolutionary theory and praxis and 10 years of solitary confinement in Turkish prisons. These reflections represent the essence of his ideas on society, knowledge, and power.
