'An excellent contribution to the studies on the Kurds and their troubled history. In this impressive work Hassaniyan meticulously narrates the socio-political history of the Kurdish national movement with close and detailed analyses of primary sources. Well-grounded with theories the author provides an insider's perspective with numerous accounts of leaders in the movement.' Metin Atmaca, University of Ankara 'There are few scholarly books in English that focus on the contemporary Kurdish politics in Iran. Relying on a variety of primary and secondary sources, Hassaniyan has written a superb and much-needed book on the genesis and development of Kurdish politics in Iran from 1947 to 2017. He delves deeply into the causes of the politicization of Kurdish sentiments in Iran and the impact of the cross border interactions between Iranian and Iraqi Kurdish political parties on the evolving nature of Iran's Kurdish movement. The book's balanced treatment of this complex and multidimensional issue allows the reader to smoothly peer into the kaleidoscope of the Kurdish political movement in Iran.' Nader Entessar, University of South Alabama 'Hassaniyan brilliantly brings together insights from several bodies of literature to illustrate the intricate and intertwined nature of Kurdishness in Iran. It is a must-read for anyone with interest in evolving Kurdish nationalism throughout the Middle East and beyond.' Mehmet Gurses, Florida Atlantic University
