Routledge Constituting the Political Economy of the Kurds - Routledge

This comprehensive work from Routledge examines the development of Kurdish political economy and collective identity across three pivotal historical periods: the late-Ottoman Empire, early Republican Turkey, and the post-1990s era. The book connects historical developments to the dynamics of Kurdish society, exploring anthropological realities of the nineteenth century through a moral economy framework, the evolution of nationalism in the early twentieth century, and the construction of modern political Kurdishness via radical democracy. Grounded in the Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series, this volume provides rigorous analysis of social embeddedness, hegemony, and identity formation within Kurdish contexts, offering scholars and students a structured examination of how economic and political structures have shaped Kurdish collective consciousness and social organisation over time.
