About the Author :
Sebastian Maisel, PhD, is associate professor of Arabic and Middle East studies at Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI.

Review :
Overall, this is an excellent introductory reference for college-level audiences who have little to no background on the Kurds. This book is a wellspring of facts and tidbits of a diverse people who practice different varieties of Islamic beliefs and nonbeliefs, bounded by common history, defined by land and group survival. Helpful to the nonspecialist are discussions of relevant belief claims and behavior patterns, and the effect of sacred tradition on the life of the people. Highly recommended. Well-written and well-presented. . . . Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty. Recomended for Community College, 2018
