Summary

This book has sought to explore the patterns of the liberation movement of Iranian Kurds from the mid-twentieth century into the following decades, through the lenses of movement mobilisation and crossborder interaction between different armed and political organisation of the Iranian, Iraqi and Kurdish movements. The exact periodisation and politicisation of the Kurdish movement has been a complex and unfinished task. Nevertheless, this book concludes that the establishment and conduct of the twentieth-century Kurdish movement has aimed at liberating the Kurdish people from the changing authoritarian regimes’ neglect of the political and cultural rights of the Kurdish people. The changing Iranian regimes’ continuous militarisation of the Kurdish region, since the establishment of the modern Iranian nation-state in 1925, has institutionalised a deep-rooted feeling of deprivation among Iranian Kurds, and consequently a politicisation of Kurdish national identity and the Kurdish national movement. The journey of the contemporary Iranian Kurdish movement started with the Uprising of Simko (1918); since that time the Kurdish national movement has, with the formation of the KDPI and the establishment of the Republic of Kurdistan, demonstrated gradual signs of modernisation and institutionalisation. Whilst until the end of the first half of the twentieth century, the Iranian Kurdish movement had an utterly nationalistic outlook, some major developments and events, for instance the peasant movement of 1952–3 and 1979’s announcement of the official activity of Komala, show the presence of diverse visions and ideologies within the Kurdish movement.
