This applies most decidedly to the Kurds, some 25 to 30 million strong, who are divided among four large multipeople states in the Middle East and a growing diaspora in Europe and North America. The Kurds also developed a sense of nationhood too late, after their homeland had been carved up, which alarmed the established countries in the area. The reaction was often repression, if not outright warfare, rather than accommodation and provision of reasonable au- tonomy. Finally, the Kurds, while recognizing one another as branches of the same family, are still deeply divided in their own allegiances and sometimes quarrel with one another more bitterly than they fight those who seek to dominate them. Since the first edition of this book, how- ever, the situation has improved considerably, with the fall of Saddam Hussein and the emergence of the Kurdistan Regional Government, in which Iraqi Kurds of many different orientations are learning to cooper- ate in practical and helpful ways. Writing about a people is not as easy as writing about a country. It is necessary, first, to show where the people resided at various times in the past, what holds them together and what divides them, and how they manage to survive as a coherent community in a world composed of sovereign nations. Only then can you concentrate on the people, places, and events marking their history or consider how they get along economically; maintain privileged social bonds with one another and relate to outsiders; and preserve their culture, language, and religion. Thus, while writing about a people is hard to do, it can be done; indeed, it has been done very successfully in this Historical Dictionary of the Kurds, with its chronology, introduction, dictionary, and bibliography. ix 110_509_01_Front.indd0_509_01_Front.indd ixix 99/16/10/16/10 9:289:28 AAMM x • EDITOR’S FOREWORD Aside from the sheer difficulty in gathering basic information when writing about a people—especially the Kurds—it is necessary to main- tain a proper balance between different groups and factions and between the people and their neighbors. This is often harder for an insider than for an outsider, and an outsider must also have a keen understanding of and strong affinity for the subject. That is certainly the case for the author of both editions of this book, Michael M. Gunter, who has been studying and teaching about the region for almost four decades. He is presently a professor of political science at Tennessee Technological University, having earlier taught at Kent State University, and still gives summer courses at the International University in Vienna. Dr. Gunter has written numerous articles and chapters as well as several books on the Kurdish question, the latest being The Kurds Ascending: The Evolv- ing Solution to the Kurdish Problem in Iraq and Turkey.

For this second edition I have reviewed every entry, expanded many of them, and added a number of new ones. I also dropped a few entries that seemed no longer relevant. In addition, I have updated the historical narrative and expanded the bibliography to reflect the tremendous explosion in material published on the Kurds. This new edition contains mainly historical and political entries, with an emphasis on topics closer to the present day. Nevertheless, I have sought to include the most important earlier names and events, too. In addition, I have included a number of entries on important cultural, economic, and social topics, among others. As an aid to readers, many of the entries have extensive cross-references in boldface type or a See also at the end. Yet, inevitably, there is a certain amount of subjectiv- ity when choosing topics for entries. Furthermore, I am sure that I have simply neglected to provide entries on topics that deserved to be included. Therefore, I welcome suggestions from readers for additional entries in any future edition. In writing a dictionary on the Kurds in the English language, I have attempted to simplify the transliteration of names and terms as much as possible. Given the rich variety of spellings among Western schol- ars and the linguistic differences among the Kurds themselves, it was not possible to be completely consistent in my transliterations. Rather, I have used spellings that are most comfortable to me, an English- speaking reader and writer. Although the purist might object, the result should be that readers will be easily able to identify quickly what they are reading about. In some cases, Kurds and those who write about them most com- monly use the Kurdish term, while in others they use the English. To xv 110_509_01_Front.indd0_509_01_Front.indd xvxv 99/16/10/16/10 9:289:28 AAMM xvi • PREFACE compound the inconsistency, Kurdish acronyms are sometimes com- monly employed with full English terms. The Kurdistan Workers Party, commonly known by its Kurdish acronym, PKK, is a good example. By contrast, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) are usually known by both their English full names and their English acronyms. Therefore, by seeking to use the terms that seem to me most common, I have not been consistent in regard to language. Nevertheless, the result is that I have used terms that readers should most easily recognize. In most entries, I have sought to use both full Kurdish and English names upon first mention. Another problem of consistency involves the birth and death years in some of the entries on persons. Because of the unsettled conditions usually prevailing in Kurdistan, even today, many Kurds simply do not know when they were born. Therefore, I have not been able to list dates for all my person entries. This problem becomes even greater for historical figures. Nevertheless, I have been able to establish the dates for a number of persons and have entered them when I could. The re- sult is an obvious inconsistency in my entries, although they have the merit of giving as much information as they can. In a few cases I have listed slightly different dates in this edition from the first edition based on new data I have gathered. Again I would welcome comments from my readers, some of whom may undoubtedly help fill in a few of the numerous gaps here.

    THE KURD INDUSTRY: UNDERSTANDING COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY by ELÇIN HASKOLLAR A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Stephen Eric Bronner and approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2014 © 2014 Elçin Haskollar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Kurd Industry: Understanding Cosmopolitanism in the Twenty-First Century By ELÇIN HASKOLLAR Dissertation Director: Dr. Stephen Eric Bronner This dissertation is largely concerned with the tension between human rights principles and political realism. It examines the relationship between ethics, politics and power by discussing how Kurdish issues have been shaped by the political landscape of the twenty- first century. It opens up a dialogue on the contested meaning and shape of human rights, and enables a new avenue to think about foreign policy, ethically and politically. It bridges political theory with practice and reveals policy implications for the Middle East as a region. Using the approach of a qualitative, exploratory multiple-case study based on discourse analysis, several Kurdish issues are examined within the context of democratization, minority rights and the politics of exclusion. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, archival research and participant observation. Data analysis was carried out based on the theoretical framework of critical theory and discourse analysis. Further, a discourse-interpretive paradigm underpins this research based on open coding. Such a method allows this study to combine individual narratives within their particular socio-political, economic and historical setting.

  • Response to Noreña: Comments from a Historian of Islamic Iberia
    Response to Noreña: Comments from a Historian of Islamic Iberia JANINA SAFRAN Penn State University [email protected] Carlos Noreña describes how Segobriga, a town in central Spain, an im- perial backwater, became Romanized in the first century of the Common Era—some two centuries after central Spain was incorporated into the Roman empire. Evidence for this Romanization includes monumental construction and public space (forum, theater, amphitheater, temples, bath complex), increasingly Roman coinage, and adoption of the Roman “epigraphic habit.” Noreña argues that the material transformation of Segobriga marked and informed the development of a Roman political- cultural habitus. Romanization did not simply coincide with the shift from republican to monarchic government in Rome but was defined by it; indeed, similar changes occurred in other provincial regions. The Ro- man shift to a monarchic system wrought significant cultural change for two reasons: the motivation of local elites to adopt the “Roman cultural package” in order to promote their own status, prestige, and authority; and monarchy’s symbolic “glue.” I have been invited to address Noreña’s essay from the perspective of my field: Islamic History. My research area is al-Andalus (Islamic Iberia) and the Maghrib (western North Africa). There are a number of ways to engage with this conceptually exciting argument. To begin, as a way to facilitate comparative discussion, I would like to first draw attention to three parallels: between the concept of the “Roman city” and the “Islamic city,” between concepts of Romanization and Islamization, and between Noreña’s analysis of Segobriga and Chase Robinson’s analysis of Mosul.

  • A Study of European, Persian, and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani
    A Study of European, Persian, and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani Jafar Hasanpoor Doctoral dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Iranian languages presented at Uppsala University 1999. ABSTRACT Hasanpoor, J. 1999: A Study of European, Persian and Arabic Loans in Standard Sorani. Reports on Asian and African Studies (RAAS) 1. XX pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1353-7. This dissertation examines processes of lexical borrowing in the Sorani standard of the Kurdish language, spoken in Iraq, Iran, and the Kurdish diaspora. Borrowing, a form of language contact, occurs on all levels of language structure. In the pre-standard literary Kurdish (Kirmanci and Sorani) which emerged in the pre-modern period, borrowing from Arabic and Persian was a means of developing a distinct literary and linguistic tradition. By contrast, in standard Sorani and Kirmanci, borrowing from the state languages, Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, is treated as a form of domination, a threat to the language, character, culture, and national distinctness of the Kurdish nation. The response to borrowing is purification through coinage, internal borrowing, and other means of extending the lexical resources of the language. As a subordinate language, Sorani is subjected to varying degrees of linguistic repression, and this has not allowed it to develop freely. Since Sorani speakers have been educated only in Persian (Iran), or predominantly in Arabic, European loans in Sorani are generally indirect borrowings from Persian and Arabic (Iraq). These loans constitute a major source for lexical modernisation. The study provides wordlists of European loanwords used by Hêmin and other codifiers of Sorani.

From the early 1930s to the early 1950s, the Political Department of the Jewish Agency (later, the Israeli Foreign Ministry) and several eminent Kurdish leaders maintained contact with a view to cooperation. The strategic calculus behind a Zionist/Israeli-Kurdish partnership was the same that directed Zionist/Israeli relations with all regional minorities: If demographic differences from the region’s Sunni Arab majority had made ii them outliers and political differences with them had made them outcasts, the Zionists/Israelis and the Kurds, together with their common circumstance as minorities, had a common enemy (Arab nationalists) against whom they could make common cause.

  • The Political Thought of Al-Jahiz with Special Reference to the Question of Khilafa (Imamate): a Chronological Approach
    THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF AL-JAHIZ WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE QUESTION OF KHILAFA (IMAMATE): A CHRONOLOGICAL APPROACH (VOLUME II) JAMAL F.

Wa NYý, w t --h CHAPTER EIGHT al-Wäthiq's Period I: (227-229) 1.Kitäb Fadl Hashim °alä `Abd Shams. 1-Note on Nomenclature : al-Jähiz in his famous preface to Kitdb al-Hayawän868refers to Kitäb Fadl Häshim as "Kitab Farq mä bayn Häshim wa `Abd Shams". The difference in nomenclature does not alter its authenticity, and seemsto have been acceptedby the leading experts on al-Jähiz869 al-Häjiri in his analysis of this work suggests that it belongs in the same religio-political setting as al-Näbita. 870 He adds that he is not sure of the relation between this work and a similar one quoted by Yäqüt in his bibliography of Jähiz's writings. This work - according to the authority of Yäqüt - is named "Kitäb al Fakhr mä bayn `Abd Shams wa Makhzüm", and since it has not reached us, there is no point of making any further comment on it. 871 As regards the relation between Kitäb Fadl Häshim and the series of works known as al-Häshimiyyät, mentioned by Jähiz himself in his preface to Kitäb al- Hayawän, as distinct from Kitäb Fadl Häshim, one may say here that there is obviously a common Hdshimite theme that runs through these writings, in the constant attempt of al-Jähiz to raise the two wings of the Häshimite stock against their Umayyad opponents, and in his no less eager efforts to undermine and marginalize the Umayyads by pointing out that as regards their relation to Quraysh, which then provided the socio-genetic pool for all political leaders - it was a very poor relation and not as central as that enjoyed by the Tälibites and `Abbäsids.

Department of Politics and IR, International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan. 2. Department of Gender Studies, Asian University for Women, Bangladesh. Received: September 8, 2020 Published Online: December 31, 2020 Abstract Struggle of the Kurds for an independent state can be considered to be one of the most challenging and most underestimated issue in the political analysis of Middle East. Kurd is the fourth largest ethnic group in this region with an estimated populace of 35 to 40 million who are dissipated among four states Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran separately. This study intends to examine the origin of Kurds, their political struggle, the factors that compelled Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq to conduct referendum for Independence and reaction of all the four countries who share Kurdish population. By adopting exploratory and explanatory approaches and utilizing primary as well secondary data, it has been found that Kurdish struggle and its outcome have been influenced by multiple complex factors which led their conflict to an unresolved state. Our analysis concluded that the states need to realize that suppression of ethnic identities and voices of Kurds might appear to be solution for short time, but not in the long run for promoting peace and regional stability in the Middle-East.
