      The division of the Kurdish people among Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran continues to shape Middle Eastern politics. David McDowall's comprehensive history of the Kurds from the 19th century to today explores the dynamics of the Kurdish question. Utilizing primary sources, including documents from Britain's Public Record Office and interviews with key Kurdish figures, the work examines the interplay of traditional and contemporary struggles, local rivalries, and leadership within Kurdish society, while highlighting the failure of modern states to adequately address Kurdish nationalism. In this revised edition, McDowall analyzes significant socio-political transformations in the Kurdish landscape over the past 20 years. With updates and substantial new material, this fourth edition reflects recent developments and emerging areas of importance, including the Kurdish experience in Syria, the influence of political Islam, and the previously overlooked issues of women and gender. The book addresses the impact of the women's equality movement and the ongoing patriarchal practices that hinder progress within the Kurdish community. As a foundational text for Kurdish Studies, it details the evolving situation of the Kurds across the Middle East.
