KURDISH HISTORY UNDER THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
 
Kurdish History under the Ottoman Empire: Autonomy, Resistance, and Transformation explores the complex relationship between the Kurdish people and the Ottoman state from the fourteenth century to the empire's collapse. Tracing the rise of Kurdish emirates, their negotiated autonomy, and their strategic role in imperial rivalries, the book reveals how cooperation and resistance shaped Kurdish political life. Through Ottoman archives, Kurdish oral traditions, and modern scholarship, it examines governance, culture, religion, and rebellion, culminating in the Tanzimat reforms and World War I.
This volume explains how Ottoman rule profoundly shaped Kurdish identity and modern political consciousness.
