Description: Spanning rugged highlands and river valleys across four nations, this sweeping study introduces one of the world's largest peoples without a state. From ancient origins and medieval kingdoms through Ottoman rule and the fateful borders drawn after World War I, the book traces how Kurdish communities have taken distinct paths in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Rich chapters on language, music, and daily life round out a portrait that is as much cultural celebration as geopolitical history.
