Abstract

The Kurds: An Encyclopedia of Life, Culture, and Society is a single-volume resource that attempts to fill the gap in Southwestern Asian literature of comprehensive, critical, and timely information specific to the Kurdish people. The Kurds are a stateless minority split among Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, as well as other nations in the wider diasporic community. A multidisciplinary team of scholars and researchers have divided chapters regarding the historical, sociocultural, and political contexts of the Kurdish people’s struggle into three sections.
