Despite over 150 years of armed struggle, why have the Kurds been unsuccessful in forming their own nation-state? This book argues that Kurdish society has traditionally been divided along tribal lines. Tribal loyalty has transcended loyalty to the Kurdish nation. After World War II. Kurdish political parties were formed, however. Kurdish intellectuals did not have the power to mobilize Kurdish masses. Kurdish political movements were forced to incorporate Kurdish tribal leaders, and with them tribal structure and values were integrated into politics.
The Kurdish political parties that replaced Kurdish tribes in leading Kurdish revolts after World War II engaged in fratricidal lighting against each other—as their tribal ancestors had done—thereby weakening them-selves in the process. The leaders of Kurdish political parties have followed the path of their tribal ancestors, thus preventing the development of Kurdish nationalism.
Examining the major Kurdish revolts, this book analyzes the internal factors that led to their defeat, as well as arguing that reliance by Kurdish leaderships on foreign powers has had disastrous consequences at crucial points in Kurdish history. This in-depth analysis traces the development of Kurdish politics through a systematic work on the issue of tribalism in Kurdish history. The author has conducted a series of highly significant interviews with key political figures, which are extremely important in understanding the evolut ion of the Kurdish problem during the last few decades.
