Their situation illuminates the burning question of the Middle East: how do ethnicity and self-determination interact? Bringing together several disciplines, including history, anthropology, sociology, politics, and linguistics, the contributors here consider the factors that make the case of the Kurds so critical. Examples are drawn from the modern histories of Iraq, Turkey, and Iran.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582420066577,"sku":"GOR007611177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730009760017,"sku":"NGR9780863568251","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0863568254.jpg?v=1751202281"},{"product_id":"shi-ite-movement-in-iraq-book-faleh-a-jabar-9780863569883","title":"The Shi'ite Movement in Iraq","description":"Shi'i Islam has been the focus of sustained attention since the success of the Iranian revolution in 1979. Yet beyond the Iranian case, the role of Shi'ism in politics across the Middle East has attracted little serious research. Even less attention has been given to Shi'ism and Shi'ite militancy in Iraq - which preceded the Iranian revolution - and less still to their nature and origins; the social movements they engendered; the social actors involved; the ideological responses they gave rise to and the specific sources of power and legitimacy the ulema (rulers) wielded. This book is an attempt to fill the gap in our understanding of the social and cultural identity created through the ideology of Shi'i Islam in Iraq.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52094330732817,"sku":"GOR014487069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780863569883.jpg?v=1756986185"},{"product_id":"shi-ite-movement-in-iraq-book-faleh-a-jabar-9780863563959","title":"The Shi'ite Movement in Iraq","description":"Shi'i Islam has been the focus of sustained attention since the success of the Iranian revolution in 1979.

It is also a useful resource for analysis of the current conflict in Iraq, as the suppressed, majority Shi'ites are certain to play a crucial role in any future shaping of that country.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52099448570129,"sku":"CIN0863563953G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780863563959.jpg?v=1757085994"},{"product_id":"kurds-in-a-changing-middle-east-book-faleh-a-jabar-9781784539917","title":"The Kurds in a Changing Middle East","description":"The Kurds are one of the largest stateless nations in the world, numbering more than 20 million people. Their homeland lies mostly within the present-day borders of Turkey, Iraq and Iran as well as parts of Syria, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Yet until recently the ‘Kurdish question’ - that is, the question of Kurdish self-determination - seemed, to many observers, dormant. It was only after the so-called Arab Spring, and with the rise of the Islamic State, that they emerged at the centre of Middle East politics. But what is the future of the Kurdish national movement? How do the Kurds themselves understand their community and quest for political representation?  This book analyses the major problems, challenges and opportunities currently facing the Kurds. Of particular significance, this book shows, is the new Kurdish society that is evolving in the context of a transforming Middle East. This is made of diverse communities from across the region who represent very different historical, linguistic, political, social and cultural backgrounds that are yet to be understood. This book examines the recent shifts and changes within Kurdish societies and their host countries, and argues that the Kurdish national movement requires institutional and constitutional recognition of pluralism and diversity. Featuring contributions from world-leading experts on Kurdish politics, this timely book combines empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory to shed new light on the Kurds of the 21st century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148023951633,"sku":"NLS9781784539917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781784539917.jpg?v=1757602358"},{"product_id":"kurds-in-a-changing-middle-east-book-faleh-a-jabar-9780755651054","title":"The Kurds in a Changing Middle East","description":"The Kurds are one of the largest stateless nations in the world, numbering more than 20 million people.
