Syria's Kurds - Tejel, Jordi (University of Fribourg, Switzerland)

Jordi Tejel presents - combining different disciplines such as history, sociology and anthropology - a new understanding of the dynamics leading to the consolidation of a Kurdish minority awareness in contemporary Syria. The book explores in particular how conditions for a change in ethnic strategy, from one of 'dissimulation' to one of 'visibility', have emerged amongst Syria's Kurds.
