The Kurds

Paper Summary:

A detailed analysis of the Kurdish question following the Gulf War. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey through the Kurdish history, as well as an examination of current situations. The national movements, the history of the problem and other aspects are looked at in close detail and tied together to present a systematic research approach to the Kurdish question.

From the Paper:

"The people themselves are building a national identity however. They sing national songs, they have a language that belongs to their ;nation, and they even have a currency that is exclusively Kurdish. In Kurdistan children are taught the history of their people and they are taught to have national pride. Like the person who lives out of hotels, but still is alive, the Kurdish consider themselves a nation without a home. The national identity has never been dependent on having land to call their own as they moved from place to place trying to find a permanent residence."
