This book examines the circumstances of the Kurds in 21st century
Turkey, under the hegemony of the AKP government. After decades of
denial, oppression and conflict, Kurds now assert a more confident
presence in Turkey's politics - but does increasing visibility mean
a rejection of Turkey? Recording Kurdish voices from Istanbul and
Diyarbakir, Turkey's most important Kurdish-populated cities, this
book generates new understandings of Kurdish identity and political
aspirations. Highlighting elements of Kurdish identity including
Newroz, the Kurdish language, connections to religion, landscape
and cross-border ties, it offers a portrait of Kurdish political
life in a Turkey increasingly dominated by its president, Recep
Tayyip Erdogan. Within the context of Turkey's troubled trajectory
towards democratisation, it documents Kurdish narratives of
oppression and resistance, and enquires how Kurds reconcile their
distinct ethnic identity and citizenship in modern Turkey.
