"Kurdistan may remain formally divided between Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria, but it lies at a increasingly crucial geostrategic cross-roads— not only between the Middle East’s warring power-blocs, but also on key water, oil and infrastructure routes..." My latest:

This book about #Rojava will be out next month, and it's a must-read (I know, because I read it already). Matt Broomfield not only knows the subject very well but is a great writer too.

'Broomfield writes with candour, and subtlety, not only of the resistance in Rojava but of global struggles...' A truly thoughtful, engaged first review(!) of 'Hope Without Hope: Rojava and Revolutionary Commitment' Thanks Ciaran O'Rourke Hard Crackers: Chronicles of Everyday Life 👇 hardcrackers.com/review-hope-wi…

Glad to join colleagues LSE Middle East Kurdish Studies Conference and UI Research this week for important discussions on Kurds' vital role in the evolving global order, and Turkey's manipulation of EU security policy. Plus - a first public outing for my book 'Hope Without Hope'!

It's wonderful to know such diverse thinkers - Frederike Geerdink, Carne Ross, Michael Hardt and John Holloway - all found food for thought in 'Hope Without Hope'. I hope the book keeps on linking Rojava to global critical thought & struggles! Order via: linktr.ee/mattbroomfield…

I feel humbled, nervous and thrilled to hold a physical copy of 'Hope Without Hope: Rojava and Revolutionary Commitment'. This book means so much to me, and i hope it's a fitting, critical, sincere testament to those who never had the luxury of leaving Rojava and writing books.

I'm delighted that @EuropeanISA have awarded this grant, making my proposed fieldwork in Kurdish-led North and East Syria feasible despite other restrictions. Research in Kurdistan & Syria is extremely challenging, but never more vital than now. Thanks for making it happen!

Lovely, unexpected message from Terry Eagleton regarding 'Hope Without Hope'. His excellent 'Hope Without Optimism' resonates with many of the arguments in Hope against Hope, especially the sense of political struggle as an absurdist 'leap of faith'.

"Iranian Kurdish militants urge a path beyond both Israel’s genocidal war and Iran’s repressive regime. Yet between retributive Iranian violence and cynical exploitation by Israel, that path may prove hard to find..." My analysis UnHerd: unherd.com/2025/07/irans-…
