This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated Second Edition of a children's adaptation of the Kurdish Newroz Saga about Kawa the Blacksmith and featuring the origin of Newroz Mythology. "Slowly, the snow giant began to melt. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beam of light and the giant halo that was coming from Kawa and his friends. The giant thought, It is true that light always wins over darkness, and this time it is in the form of love, friendship and unity. He thought to himself. When people stand together in times of trouble, even the most powerful creatures like me won't be able to survive and spread fear. The giant knew his time had come to an end. As long as the people stood with each other, he would not be successful in stopping spring. Although he would be sure to try again next year" Newroz is probably the most important Kurdish national holiday, celebrated on March 21st, during the Spring Equinox. It is an ancient indo-iranian celebration based in Zoroastrianism that is surrounded by many diverse tales and legends, often around a blacksmith called Kawa. For Kurds, Kawa and Newroz represent the ultimate courage and resilience of people towards tyranny and cold harsh winters. In order to create a child friendly version of the legend surrounding Kawa the Blacksmith and the origins of Newroz for her two children in Diaspora, the author developed this adaptation some years ago. Following the publication of another adaptation of an old Kurdish epos "Mem u Zin" by Ahmede Khani, with the title: Holy Dolma and Honey Pie - Of Friendships and Miracles. The author was born in exile in Germany and was stateless until the age of 12. Language was always more than just a means of communication- it was an identity, heritage and home. Her parents, who were Kurdish university students in Europe's 60s, became political refugees due to being part of the resistance movement against the ruthless Baathist regime in Iraq, that persecuted Kurds, culminating in several genocides. Nevertheless, despite being in exile, they managed to instil in their children a deep love for their mother tongue and give a glimpse in the rich traditions of Kurdish oral story telling, history and culture. Having had limited access to Kurdish children books, due to years of linguistic, cultural and ethnic persecution, Peri-Khan committed herself to continue her people's tradition of generational storytelling to safeguard national heritage. Always in the back of her mind, second and third generations of parents and children in diaspora.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an interpretive and critical analysis of Kurdish identity, nationalism and national movement in Turkey since the 1960s. By raising issues and questions relating to Kurdish political identity and highlighting the ideological specificity, diversity and the transformation of Kurdish nationalism, it develops a new empirical dimension to the study of the Kurds in Turkey. Cengiz Gunes applies an innovative theoretical approach to the analysis of an impressively large volume of primary sources and data drawn from books and magazines published by Kurdish activists, political parties and groups. The analysis focuses on the specific demands articulated by the Kurdish national movement and looks at Kurdish nationalism at a specific level by disaggregating the nationalist discourse, showing variations over time and across different Kurdish nationalist organisations. Situating contemporary Kurdish political identity and its political manifestations within a historical framework, the author examines the historical and structural conditions that gave rise to it and influenced its evolution since the 1960s. The analysis also encompasses an account of the organisational growth and evolution of the Kurdish national movement, including the political parties and groups that were active in the period. Bringing the study of the organisational development and growth of the Kurdish National Movement in Turkey up to date, this book will be an important reference for students and scholars of Middle Eastern politics, social movements, nationalism and conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost three decades have passed since political violence erupted in Turkey’s south-eastern regions, where the majority of Turkey’s approximately 20 million Kurds live. In 1984, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) initiated an insurgency which intensified in the following decades and continues to this day. Kurdish regions in Turkey were under military rule for more than a decade and the conflict has cost the lives of 45,000 people, including soldiers, guerrillas and civilians. The complex issue of the Kurdish Question in Turkey is subject to comprehensive examination in this book. This interdisciplinary edited volume brings together chapters by social theorists, political scientists, social anthropologists, sociologists, legal theorists and ethnomusicologists to provide new perspectives on this internationally significant issue. It elaborates on the complexity of the Kurdish question and examines the subject matter from a number of innovative angles. Considering historical, theoretical and political aspects of the Kurdish question in depth and raising issues that have not been discussed sufficiently in existing literature, this book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Nationalism and Conflict, Turkish Politics and Middle Eastern politics more broadly.

Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of the Kurds is an authoritative and comprehensive volume exploring the social, political and economic features, forces and evolution amongst the Kurds, and in the region known as Kurdistan, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Written in a clear and accessible style by leading scholars in the field, the chapters survey key issues and themes vital to any understanding of the Kurds and Kurdistan including Kurdish language; Kurdish art, culture and literature; Kurdistan in the age of empires; political, social and religious movements in Kurdistan; and domestic political developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Other chapters on gender, diaspora, political economy, tribes, cinema and folklore offer fresh perspectives on the Kurds and Kurdistan as well as neatly meeting an exigent need in Middle Eastern studies. Situating contemporary developments taking place in Kurdish-majority regions within broader histories of the region, it forms a definitive survey of the history of the Kurds and Kurdistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst ongoing wars and insecurities, female fighters, politicians and activists of the Kurdish Freedom Movement are building a new political system that centres gender equality. Since the Rojava Revolution, the international focus has been especially on female fighters, a gaze that has often been essentialising and objectifying, brushing over a much more complex history of violence and resistance. Going beyond Orientalist tropes of the female freedom fighter, and the movement's own narrative of the 'free woman', Isabel Käser looks at personal trajectories and everyday processes of becoming a militant in this movement. Based on in-depth ethnographic research in Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan, with women politicians, martyr mothers and female fighters, she looks at how norms around gender and sexuality have been rewritten and how new meanings and practices have been assigned to women in the quest for Kurdish self-determination. Her book complicates prevailing notions of gender and war and creates a more nuanced understanding of the everyday embodied epistemologies of violence, conflict and resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 2018, Turkey invaded the autonomous Kurdish region of Afrin in Syria and is currently threatening to ethnically cleanse the region. Between 2012 and 2018, the “Mountain of the Kurds” (Kurd Dagh) as the area has been called for centuries, had been one of the quietest regions in a country otherwise torn by civil war. After the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the Syrian army withdrew from the region in 2012, enabling the Party of Democratic Union (PYD), the Syrian sister party of Abdullah Öcalan’s outlawed Turkish Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to first introduce a Kurdish self-administration and then, in 2014, to establish the Canton Afrin as one of the three parts of the heavily Kurdish Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, which is better known under the name Rojava. This self-administration—which had seen multiparty municipal and regionwide elections in the summer and autumn of 2017, which included a far-reaching autonomy for a number of ethnic and religious groups, and which had provided a safe haven for up to 300,000 refugees from other parts of Syria—is now at risk of being annihilated by the Turkish invasion and occupation. Thomas Schmidinger is one of the very few Europeans to have visited the Canton of Afrin. In this book, he gives an account of the history and the present situation of the region. In a number of interviews, he also gives inhabitants of the region from a variety of ethnicities, religions, political orientations, and walks of life the opportunity to speak for themselves. As things stand now, the book might seem to be in danger of becoming an epitaph for the “Mountain of the Kurds,” but as the author writes, “the battle for the Mountain of the Kurds is far from over yet.”

Book excerpt: The Kurds are considered the largest ethnic group without a state of their own. Most live in the mountainous region historically known as Kurdistan; however, this region, which includes parts of Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, never existed as a political entity. Under the rule of others, the Kurds were discriminated against and sometimes persecuted-most infamously by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. As a result the dream of autonomy or a national home holds a powerful grip on the Kurdish imagination. This book examines the economic and political issues facing the Kurdish people today. It provides up-to-date information about the geography and climate of the areas in which the Kurds live, the history of this ethnic group and its society, important Kurdish cities and communities, and the Kurds' relations with the governments of the countries in which they live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 78, I, Hamma Mirwaisi, embarked on this quest to document the history of my people, the people of Kew-Gazî Land, also known as the Caucasus region. Witnessing the widespread ignorance about our rich past profoundly troubles me. For millennia, a powerful belief system known as the Deva religion has significantly influenced our land. Its leaders have reshaped cultures and even dismantled empires in their pursuit of dominance. This book delves into the historical struggles of the people of Kew-Gazî Land against the Deva religion. It's a story of resilience in the face of oppression and the fight to preserve our heritage. Understanding the past can empower future generations to do the same. My understanding of the ancient language of the people from the Caucasus land is my tool for analyzing their mythology stories, oral stories, and written stories told by people from generation to generation. I can explore the ancient Hebrew language used to write the holy books of Judaism religion, which is full of ancient words from the original people of the Caucasus land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its emergence in the 1920s, Iraqi-Kurdish theatre was used as a tool of national identity building and modernisation. It promoted literacy, education and women's rights and became one of the most visible forms of Kurdish cultural nationalism by exploring folklore, myths, legends and local history and by celebrating heroes of the past. As time went on, by staging anti-feudalist and anti-monarchist plays, theatre became engaged in representing and legitimising the wider political movement in Iraq that ultimately led to the overthrow of the monarchy in 1958. Between 1975-1991, even under strict censorship during the Baath rule, Kurdish theatre continued to promote Kurdish nationalism and resistance through the use of Kurdish folk culture and literature. This book is based on dramatic texts from the period, interviews with Kurdish theatre artists, Kurdish theatre histories, historical documents, and journalistic accounts. It illustrates the ways in which theatre participated in the Kurdish national struggle and how it responded to political changes in different historical periods. It is the first book dedicated to Kurdish theatre and complements the latest research that examines theatre in its wider socio-political context.
