This book looks at Kurdish Nationalism in Iran and examines the links between the structural changes in the Kurdish economy and its political demands. Farideh Koohi-Kamali argues that the transition of the nomadic, tribal society of Kurdistan to an agrarian village society was the beginning of a process by which Kurds saw themselves as a community of homogenous ethnic identity. The political movements of Kurds in Iran are discussed to illustrate that the different phases of economic development of Kurdish society played a great role in determining the way in which Kurds expressed their political demands for independence.

FARIDEH KOOHI-KAMALI teaches Middle East politics and history at the New School University, New York, USA. She received her PhD from St Antony's College, Oxford and has written numerous articles on the Kurds. She contributed to The Kurds: Contemporary Overview (1992) and wrote a short story which appears in Stories by Iranian Women Since the Revolution (1991).
