Endurance: Speaking Kurdish in a Warped World: Brill Kurdish Studies, cartea 01
Autor Alex Pillenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 sep 2024
When a culture is under siege and many have lost a former way of life it may not be clear how a society looks itself in the mirror, finds its reflection. Alex Pillen’s portrayal of Speaking Kurdish in a Warped World locates such lines of reflection within everyday language. The fear of a random geopolitical pair of dice is global, a fear to be honed when reading this account of uniqueness in the face of totalising loss
