SUMMARY Nigerian author Ifeoma Okoye’s novel The Fourth World, published in 2013, presents us with a truly 21st century African unified socialist-feminist theory, while it places individual growth firmly in the community of an eponymous shanty in Enugu, Igboland. Through this novel, we observe how dictates of survival are transformed into acts of moral choice through the agency of work by a young girl of extraordinary character, helped by the congeniality of the community and by radical organisers.

It is my impression that Kurdish people often think of the lives, mores and life-worlds in Europe and the Middle East in terms of a dichotomy, or even as complete opposites. In my letter, I would like to draw readers’ attention to historical parallels, links and commonalities between medieval Kurdish worlds and those in medieval and early Modern Central Europe, especially in the case of Hungary.
