Recent events in the Middle East have propelled the once
marginalized Kurdish community to the centre of regional and,
indeed, world affairs. The growing significance of the Kurds in the
politics of the Middle East has led to greater interest amongst
both academics and policy makers regarding the community's culture,
politics and history. This current volume seeks to address this
growing interest by presenting a selection of articles from leading
experts on the history of the Kurds. These articles scrutinize a
variety of subjects which provide important context to today's
Kurdish question. It includes contributions which contextualize the
evolution of a distinctive Kurdish identity and culture.
Furthermore, it includes works which seek to examine the impact of
the gradual transformation of state power in the Middle East - more
precisely the breakdown of imperial orders and the concurrent
emergence of the modern nation-state - on the relationship between
the Kurds and the central governments under which they lived during
the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In doing so, this
volume will be of interest to all those wishing to gain a deeper
historical understanding of present day Kurdish affairs. This book
was published as a special issue of Iranian Studies.
