The Palestine conflict constitutes one of the most prolonged and
complex disputes of the twentieth century. It has consistently
dominated Arab-Jewish relations and has in turn been affected by
social, political and ideological tensions and struggles within the
Arab states as well as within Israel. This book describes the
influence and the functions of the Palestine conflict in the
history of a modernizing Arab state.
Numbering between 25 and 35 million worldwide, the Kurds are among
the largest culturally and ethnically distinct people to remain
stateless. A People Without a State offers an in-depth survey of an
identity that has often been ignored in mainstream historiographies
of the Middle East and brings to life the historical, social, and
political developments in Kurdistani society over the past
millennium. Michael Eppel begins with the myths and realities of
the origins of the Kurds, describes the effect upon them of
medieval Muslim states under Arab, Persian, and Turkish dominance,
and recounts the emergence of tribal-feudal dynasties. He explores
in detail the subsequent rise of Kurdish emirates, as well as this
people’s literary and linguistic developments, particularly the
flourishing of poetry. The turning tides of the nineteenth century,
including Ottoman reforms and fluctuating Russian influence after
the Crimean War, set in motion an early Kurdish nationalism that
further expressed a distinct cultural identity. Stateless, but
rooted in the region, the Kurds never achieved independence because
of geopolitical conditions, tribal rivalries, and obstacles on the
way to modernization. A People Without a State captures the
developments that nonetheless forged a vast sociopolitical system.
This book is dedicated to victims of sexual assaualt and domestic
violence. I am bringing awareness of what is never talked about.
This book also has the true stories and a writing of my own sexual
assault of rape. This book can make you laugh and cry. I wrote
about death, love, spirituality, hoping survivors find some peace.
I hope this book also brings something to other readers who have
not lived some of these stories, This is my first book I have
written after my rape and my new law in the State of Illinois where
perpatrators pay life time care for victims which passed on January
1, 2006 and is used daily. I have written on abuse and to leave
abusive relationship no matter how afraid you are. There are
shelters and friends to stay with. My book is called "The Cape"
because it is deep and true stories you can read about life.
