Over the past couple of decades, there have been many efforts to
seek a solution to the often violent situation in which Kurdish
citizens of Turkey find themselves. These efforts have included a
gradual programme of political recognition and multiculturalism.
Here, Durukan Kuzu examines the case of Kurdish citizens in Turkey
through the lens of the global debate on multiculturalism,
exploring the limitations of these policies. He thereby challenges
the conventional thinking about national minorities and their
autonomy, and offers a scientifically grounded comparative
framework for the study of multiculturalism. Through comparison of
the situation of Kurds in Turkey with that of other national
minorities - such as the Flemish in Belgium, Quebecois in Canada,
Corsicans in France, and Muslims in Greece - the reader is invited
to question in what forms multiculturalism can work for different
national minorities. A bottom-up approach is used to offer a fresh
insight into the Kurdish community and to highlight conflicting
views about which form the politics of recognition could take.
