Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a social, political, cultural, and socioeconomic history of Iranian Kurdistan since the 1979 Revolution.

In this study, Marouf Cabi shines a spotlight on the modern history of Iranian Kurdistan - an area of Greater Kurdistan understudied in comparison to its regions in Syria and Iraq. The book provides a historical narrative and analysis of Kurdistan since the Revolution. It addresses key changes and events in detail, such as the participation of the Kurds in the Revolution, the reinvigoration of the Kurdish movements and the emergence of the women's movement, the armed struggle of the 1980s, socioeconomic and political change of the 1990s, and the emergence of civil society since 2000. Cabi draws on extensive primary sources, including oral history, various newspapers, journals, and books published during the period.
