Beskrivning
Kurds in Turkey: Ethnographies of Heterogeneous Experiences is the newest contribution to the bourgeoning Kurdish Studies literature. The edited volume unites eight junior scholars who offer ethnographic studies based on their latest research. The chapters are clustered around four main headings: women’s participation, paramilitary, space, and infrapolitics of resistance. Each heading assembles two chapters which are in dialog with each other and offer complementary and at times competing perspectives. All four headings correspond to the emerging domains of research in Kurdish studies. Authors share a micro-level focus and take extensive field work as the basis of their argument. In the wake of massive urban destructions and renewed warfare in the Kurdish region in Turkey, this volume also stakes a stance against the memoricide of the Kurdish municipal experience and cultural production.

This edited volume of eight essays, extracted largely from dissertations completed at Turkish and European universities, is an attempt to “internationalize” the “non-military” challenges Kurdish nationalist movements in Turkey face because the civil components of the resistance’s ideology of “democratic confederalism and democratic autonomy are largely left untouched.” With references to similar challenges in Iraq, Syria, and Iran, the book is organized around four main issues: women’s participation, paramilitary groups, space, and the infrapolitics of resistance, through which the authors examine often-ignored means of civil resistance, including the cross-border smuggling of clothes, guns, and heroin between Kurds in Turkey and Kurds in Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The strongest evidence that civil tactics of resistance are gaining traction in the movement's 40-year conflict with the Turkish state is the burgeoning production of novels written in the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish, spoken in Turkey and Syria. The contributors argue that this development aids not only national liberation but also the liberation of minds and language from “the destructive forces of colonial powers.” Summing Up: Recommended. General readers and graduate students.
