Description

These sources explore the often-marginalized history and culture of the Kurdish people. They highlight how Kurdish narratives have been suppressed and fragmented by dominant powers and the nation-states encompassing Kurdistan. The texts examine pre-modern Kurdish principalities, rich oral traditions like the Dengbêj, and the significance of material culture such as textiles in preserving memory. Furthermore, they analyze key 20th-century uprisings and the impact of modern borders on Kurdish identity, while also emphasizing the ongoing efforts of scholars and communities to recover and critically analyze Kurdish history through diverse archives and oral accounts.
