Women of Kurdistan: A Historical and Bibliographic Study documents a century long history of Kurdish women’s struggles against oppressive gender relations and state violence. It speaks to bibliographic silences on Kurdish women; silences that are systemic and structured, with many factors contributing to their (re)production. The book records extensive literature on violence perpetrated by the family, community, and the state as well as presenting the reader with a vibrant archive of resistance and struggle of Kurdish women. The analysis avoids the fashionable state-centered scholarship, which purifies processes of nation-building, state-building, and disguises their violence. The image depicted of the women of Kurdistan in this bibliography is shaped also by the languages we have chosen: English, French, and German. It is a record of material in languages that are not spoken by the majority of the Kurds. It will, therefore, be different from a bibliography of works in the Kurdish language, which have a majority of Kurdish authors, with more entries on topics such as poetry, fiction, education, and arts. Shahrzad Mojab Director of Critical Studies in Equity and Solidarity, New College, University of Toronto; Professor, Woman and Gender Studies and Leadership, Higher and Adult Education, University of Toronto. She is the editor of the first anthology on Kurdish woman, Woman of a Non-Sattez Nation: The Kurds. Amir Hassanpour (1943-2017) was a prominent Kurdish Marxist scholar, a revolutionary thinker, and Professor Emeritus of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. His books, Essays on Kurds: Historiography, Orality, and Nationalism and Nationalism and Language in Kurdistan,, p. 1918-1985 are among his seminal works on Kurdish sociolinguistics, Kurdish history and nationalism, peasant and social movements, class struggle, and gender relations in the Middle East and Kurdistan.
