Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Contents -- Introduction -- Shared Ownership and Kurdish Folklore -- Resist Diyarbakır, Resist: Exploring Kurdish Literary Intelligentsia in Diyarbakır -- Tales of Woe, Ruthless Foes, and Patriotic Heroes: A Historical-Literary Study of Kurdish (Dis)unity in the Early Modern Era -- Sherko Bekas and the Emergence of Postnational Kurdish Literature -- Re-evaluation of the Yārsān Texts and its Impact on Kurdish Literature -- Kurdish Music as Literature: Some Historical Considerations -- Kurdish Women’s Feminist Poetry: Developing a Voice in Southern Kurdistan and the Diaspora -- Kurdish Women in Fiction and a History of Violence, Displacement, and Migration -- General Index
Summary: Literature, images, and metaphor are often where most of a nation’s history are embedded. A study of modern Kurdish literature highlights a fealty to a rich literary past and a rich source of historiography. The articles in this volume address many facets of the literary in the Kurdish world: proverbs, feminist literature, and resistance in literary works, poetry, prose, etc. In the end, the volume offers a general paradigm of the complex literary framework of the Kurds, their continuous resistance for nationhood in their history, and their modern reinventing of the self. An overview of some of the works in modern Kurdish literature points to both asymmetry and commonality in comparative literary studies. These works highight the thematic reach in Kurdish literary studies.
