Criticism of (Colonial Modernity) through Kurdish Decolonial Approaches.
By Engin Sustam.
Amsterdam University Press, 2022.
Western modernity with its colonial application has created an identity trauma and patriarchal domination of the memory of colonized and oppressed peoples. Critiques from colonized territories encourage us to reread the colonial epistemes of modernity, whether or not centered on the West. The Kurdish political movement thus defines a new interpretation of modernity based on the critique of colonialism and global capitalism: democratic modernity. This chapter problematizes the relations between modernity, the nation state, the destruction of ecology, social confinement, the relationship of the forces of these relations, but above all the modalities by which it becomes possible to act on them to break the stalemate of the modernity of thought in the twenty-first century.
