Kurds in Syria by Kerim Yildiz
The Forgotten People
Written by the author of such books as "The Kurds in Iraq" and "The Kurds in Turkey", this book presents an analysis of the human rights of the Kurds - Syria's largest minority. It covers the various aspects of Kurdish life including language, education, religion, history, and its situation as a 'terrorist state' outlawed by the USA.This is the first book to focus on the plight of the Kurds in Syria. The Kurds are Syria's largest minority, and continue to be subject to extreme human rights abuses. Along with Kerim Yildiz's other books - "The Kurds in Iraq" and "The Kurds in Turkey" - this builds on his comprehensive analysis of the current human rights situation for the largest ethnic group worldwide without its own state. Yildiz examines the contemporary situation of the Syrian Kurds in the context of Syria's own history, and the present situation where it is outlawed as a terrorist state by the USA. Fifty percent of Syria's income now goes on military spending - for Syria feels threatened by her neighbours, and this is mirrored in the way minorities are treated within the country. Covering all aspects of Kurdish life including language, education, religion and history, Yildiz offers a unique insight into the human rights situation of the Kurds in Syria. |
