Yezidis in Syria: Identity Building among a Double Minority traces
the development of Yezidi identity on the margins of Syria's
minority context. This little known group is connected to the
community's main living area in northern Iraq, but evolved as a
separate identity group in the context of Syria's colonial,
national, and revolutionary history. Always on the bottom of the
socio-economic hierarchy, the two sub-groups located in the Kurdagh
and the Jezira experience a period of sociological and theological
renewal in their quest for a recognized and protected status in the
new Syria. In this book, Sebastian Maisel transmits and analyzes
the Yezidi perspective on Syria's policies towards ethnic and
religious minorities.
