As Strong as the Mountains: A Kurdish Cultural Journey
"Great for undergraduate classrooms. I particularly like the discussion questions." -- Cynthia Smith, Ohio State University"I chose this text because it addresses several contemporary issues in a region of the world our students need to understand."  -- Rose-Marie Chierici, SUNY Geneseo"With clear prose and a depth of understanding of Kurds, Kurdistan, and the Middle East, the author provides an engaging introduction to the dynamics of social life for the Kurds of Turkey and Iraq. The discussions of kinship, proverbs, and change are handled particularly well. The book provides a strong sense of real people confronting challenges in their homeland and diaspora."   -- Uzi Baram, New College of Florida"Excellent coverage. Combining history, ethnicity, politics, and culture, it would be a great, and inexpensive, addition to a course on Peoples & Cultures of the Middle East."  -- Don Conway-Long, Webster University
