Summary
Locating the emergence of Kurdish nationalism into the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this chapter examines the course of Kurdish nationalism and analyses the changes in its agents, objectives, vocabulary, instruments and spaces. More particularly, it provides an historical analysis of Kurdish nationalism in terms of the agents pioneered, targets pursued, discourses mingled, instruments employed and the spaces clung. It is shown that the course of Kurdish nationalism in these respects can be examined in terms of four periods: 1898–1930, 1958–80, 1984–99 and 1999–2015. The three defeats the Kurdish nationalists faced in 1930, 1980 and 1999, it is argued, generated four different periods in the history of Kurdish nationalism. The chapter ends with a brief remark on the last defeat of the Kurdish nationalist movement in 2015.
