Elliott School of International Affairs| In-Person Event 

Description: Dr Amy Austin Holmes will be holding a book launch for her new book, ‘Statelet of Survivors – The Making of a Semi-Autonomous Region in Northeast Syria,’ with remarks by Ambassador Bill Roebuck. The book analyzes the creation of a semi-autonomous region in Syria as a de facto statelet, based on fieldwork conducted over a period of seven years in Syria and includes original survey data of more than 400 rank-and-file members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the US partner force who defeated the Islamic State. Novel insights are offered into how minorities have secured their survival in the face of atrocities.
