Reviews

"It will be an indispensable resource for all scholars and people interested not just in Kurdish affairs, but in the history, societies, and cultures of the Middle East. Recommended for university, college, and major urban libraries." - Choice

"[A] welcome addition to the scholarly apparatus of Kurdish studies." - Journal of Near Eastern Studies

"Kurdish Culture and Society will be a valuable tool for researchers and students of Kurdish culture." - MESA Bulletin

"This annotated bibliography on Kurdish culture and society is the first of its kind, both in terms of the language of the sources and the subjects it covers. . . . [T]his bibliography will fill a gap in many libraries, both becuase very few major universities treat Kurdish studies as an independent academic subject and because a great part of the sources are contributions made in non-Kurdish contexts." - Middle East Journal
