Is the Kurdish issue a matter of ethnic identity or a national cause? Is it a regime issue related to religion and religious identity? Is it a class issue? Many analyzes have been made around these questions, sides have been taken, and political solution proposals have been developed. In his book, Cuma Çiçek not only analyzes national, religious and class dimensions with deep insight, but also offers a solid holistic model that allows us to understand these three fronts together and in their interactions. Without neglecting the gender and women's movement dimensions... In doing so, the book focuses on three actors of Kurdish identity construction: the Kurdish national bloc, the Kurdish religious bloc and the Kurdish economic elite bloc. We see that the relationship and contradiction between the three sides of the issue crystallize on the plane of the relationship and contradiction between these three blocks. Another plane of analysis is the institutional structuring of the "political Kurdish region", which oscillates between localization, democratic autonomy and federation options. This comprehensive study, which is closely intertwined with history, political and social struggles, international dynamics, global developments and the entire geography of Kurdistan, will gain a basic reference value on the subject. It not only enriches our knowledge, but also helps us know better by looking at what we already know from a different perspective.
