Academic studies on Kurdish literature are meagre in the English language. This volume of original essays fills an undesirable gap in our knowledge about various facets of Kurdish culture and literature. It is an invaluable contribution to Kurdish literary studies, offering a range of kaleidoscopic subjects covering various genres of Kurdish literature, from folklore to modern nationalism, literature as resistance, music as literature, and position of women in Kurdish society. It is a pleasure to recommend this fascinating collection to anyone interested in the literary history of Kurdish people.
