MESOP RECOMMENDATION : NEW BOOKs
Trapped between the Map and Reality – Geography and perception of Kurdistan
Maria Theresa O’Shea : As largely sub-state actors, Kurds are often denied a role in official regional histories, and suffer from the state-centres core-periphery perspective that informs much of even academic history. Divided between several states, and also retaining the legacy of long-standing internal divisions, the Kurds lack the state machinery necessary to generate an alternative history, which would award them a greater role. 125 – http://www.kurdipedia.org/books/74498.pdf
