The Circassians have a long history forged in the crucible of their
homeland in the mountains and valleys of the Northwest Caucasus. Of
the many peoples of the Caucasus, they are notable for their wide
and vociferous diaspora, particularly in Turkey and the Middle
East. After living for many centuries in comparative obscurity
under the shadow of Russia, the Circassians staged a minor comeback
after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As was the case with other
regions in the Caucasus, this rebirth into nationhood was swiftly
stifled, yet today's Circassian territories have been rediscovered
as a cultural and political focus for Circassians globally. This
book provides an in-depth description by an insider' of the ancient
beliefs, customs and traditions of a remarkable people - offering
insights into a fascinating world, much of which has until now
remained unknown. This complex universe is unlocked in the hope of
spurring more interest in the unique culture of the Circassians.
