Routledge : Constituting the Political Economy of the Kurds

Explore the complex historical development of Kurdish political economy and identity in this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series, this book provides a deep look into how Kurdish society evolved through three distinct historical stages: the late-Ottoman Empire, the early Republican Turkey era, and the post-1990s period. Readers will learn how historical changes shaped the dynamics of Kurdish society. The text examines the nineteenth-century anthropological realities through a moral economy lens and tracks the changing nature of nationalism during the early twentieth century. It also investigates the modern construction of political Kurdishness and how these elements connect to broader social and economic structures. This book is an essential resource for those studying Middle Eastern history, political economy, and the evolution of identity in the region.
