Description
The recent civil unrest and protests in Iran brought the Kurdish struggle back into the spotlight. Yet studies on the Kurds and Iran remain limited. This edited book brings together scholars from across Kurdish and Iranian studies to collectively examine many aspects of the history of Iranian Kurdistan since the 1979 Revolution. Kurdish society in Iran has shown great transformations over the last four decades. This book takes a multidisciplinary and transnational approach to create a key resource for scholars on the Iranian Kurds. Divided into 6 parts, the book's aim is to be comprehensive, covering a wide range of subjects from history, economics, politics and art, to gender, civil society, film and the diaspora. The first edited work on Kurdish society in Iran, the book is based on the new theoretical and academic achievements of the past few decades.
