Kurdistan exists as a cultural and political concept on many levels
of discourse. Despite Kurdistan's divisions, lack of definition and
the absence of a unified struggle for a Kurdish state, the concept
survives the reality as a powerful mixture of myths, reality and
ambition. This thesis analyses geographical and historical factors,
which have shaped Kurdish conceptions of their identity.
Historically, Kurdistan existed in the heart of an ethnically and
geographically complex region, a marginal buffer zone between rival
regional and colonial powers. Kurdistan's location was the key to
its political and cultural developments. Many resultant features
were to militate against the formation of a Kurdish state.
