Beskrivning
Anne Sofie Schøtt contributes to our understanding of mobilisation and identity formation in the periphery of the Kurdish diaspora by examining the small but well-established community in Denmark. Arguing that the Danish authorities treat the diaspora differently in comparison to neighbouring Sweden and Germany, Schøtt examines the political lobbyism, the courtroom activism and the humanitarian action of the various Kurdish diaspora groups. She examines the position of the Syrian Kurds within the diaspora who, like the Kurds in Syria, have been largely ignored until recently. Schøtt also provides new knowledge on diaspora engagement in war in the homeland by analysing the strategic interaction between the Danish authorities and the Kurdish diaspora community – both engaged in the war against Islamic State, but on different terms.

Recensioner i media

A unique account of how the Kurds in Denmark mobilised in support of the Kurdish struggle in Syria. Schøtt convincingly introduces an interactionist approach that interconnects the analysis of diaspora activism and diaspora identity. The book is a significant contribution to Peace and Conflict Studies, Kurdish Studies and Diaspora Studies.
