Description

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.

Iranian Kurdistan Under the Islamic Republic provides a compelling historical account of the political and intellectual movement, as well as modern Kurdish society in Iranian Kurdistan (Rojhelat/East Kurdistan), from the 1970s, onwards.

Allan Hassaniyan, Lecturer in Middle East Studies, institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, UK
Marouf Cabi's Iranian Kurdistan under the Islamic Republic: Change, Revolution and Resistance is a timely and important contribution to the study of post-revolutionary Iran, offering a decisive shift away from entrenched centre-oriented narratives … [it] is a significant and thought-provoking contribution that successfully bridges empirical richness with conceptual innovation.
