AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Rich in detail, this work identifies and delineates the cultural heritage of the Kurds from the pre-historic period up to the early 1990s. In general 'this book is meant to serve as a reference manual to provide a reasonably brief but documented insight into matters Kurdish, beginning always with their historical background, and, if relevant, geographical setting. Only the main point and the major causes and effects are discussed here' (p. xiv). Major topics in this book are: geography, cultural history, human geography, religion, language, literature and the press, society, political and contemporary issues, the economy, and culture and fine arts.
