A Road Unforeseen
A secular feminist army courageously challenges the Islamic State In war-torn northern Syria, a democratic society—based on secularism, ethnic inclusiveness, and gender equality—has won significant victories against the Islamic State, or Daesh, with women on the front lines as fierce warriors and leaders. A Road Unforeseen recounts the dramatic, underreported history of the Rojava Kurds, whose all-women militia was instrumental in the perilous mountaintop rescue of tens of thousands of civilians besieged in Iraq. Up to that point, the Islamic State had seemed invincible. Yet these women helped vanquish them, bringing the first half of the refugees to safety within twenty-four hours. Who are the revolutionary women of Rojava and what lessons can we learn from their heroic story? How does their political philosophy differ from that of Iraqi Kurdistan, the Islamic State, and Turkey? And will the politics of the twenty-first century be shaped by the opposition between these political models?

Mündliche Literatur der Kurden in den Regionen Botan und Hekarî
Diese Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit der mundlichen Literatur der Kurden in den Regionen Hekari und Botan. Die Forschungen uber die kurdische mundliche Literatur sind - trotz zahlenmassiger Zunahme in den letzten Jahren - unzureichend; abgesehen von wenigen Ausnahmen, die zumeist religiose Minderheiten betreffen, fehlen insbesondere ausfuhrliche Arbeiten uber die Traditionen bestimmter Kulturraume. Aus diesem Grunde besitzt diese Untersuchung auch den Status einer Pionierarbeit. Bis zur Verbreitung der audiovisuellen Medien in Kurdistan waren die traditionellen Formen der Uberlieferung fur die mundliche Literatur und Kunste ausschlaggebend. Der franzosische Reisende Pierre Amedee Jaubert beobac...

The Herbedestan and Nerangestan, Vol. III
Le Nerangestan, ou Livre d'indication rituelles vient, dans les manuscrits, a la suite du Herbedestan mais represente un texte a part qui a essentiellement trait a l'education religieuse. Les deux textes appartiennent a la tradition savante du Zoroastrisme, et les longs passages du commentaire pehlevi sont souvent plus eclairants que le sont les phrases laconiques en avestique. Toujours est il que peu de passages sont faciles a lire parce que la plupart des iranistes occidentaux ont une connaissance peu approfondie des differents rituels zoroastriens, tandis que l'objectif du Nerangestan etait d'elucider des points qui semblaient obscurs meme aux pretres pratiquants de l'epoque. Le deuxieme ...
Kurdish Alevis and the Case of Dersim
In contemporary Turkey, discussions on the concept of ethnicity and religiosity continue to maintain their utmost importance in politics and daily social life. In this context, Alevi and Kurdish identities have come to the fore with mass representation marked by protests and violence. In spite of the importance of Kurds and Alevis for the history of Turkey, one specific group, namely the Kurdish Alevis, has escaped the attention of the international world. Although wide interest upon the topic in the international academic sphere, there are very limited academic works about Kurdish Alevis in general. Who are the Kurdish Alevis? What are the particular conditions for its association with the Kurdish identity, Alevi religion, and the history of Turkey? What has been the role of Dersim within Kurdish Alevism? The main purpose of this edited volume, the first of its kind, is to contribute to the understanding of these and other questions. Based on six perspectives from scholars from various disciplinary, this approach will present new insights on contemporary research and discussions on the issue.
The Languages and Linguistics of Western Asia
The languages of Western Asia belong to a variety of language families, including Indo-European, Kartvelian, Semitic, and Turkic, but share numerous features on account of being in areal contact over many centuries.
