Tribe and Kinship Among the KurdsP. Lang, 1991 - 328 sider Although Kurdish national aspirations and their political difficulties have become relatively well-known, scientific studies of the Kurdish society are rare. Various aspects of their society such as the significance of tribal membership, the ways in which people use marriage and kinship, the interaction between tribal and ethnic identities are some of the themes of this book. The author uses her anthropological fieldwork in Hakkari to throw light on processes of Kurdish identity, tribe-state relations, and local politics in southeast Turkey. |
