  • Summary

    “This chapter traces the transformation of the Kurdish issue into a transnational indigenous one. It argues that we rethink and shift our analyst categories in tandem with this transformation. By considering the impact of diaspora, Rojava and indigeneity, the chapter argues that the Kurdish issue should no longer simply be conceived as ‘minority rights within a state/regional system’ but one which centres on the issue of Kurdish transnational indigeneity. It argues that Kurdish roots will continue to be articulated through transnational routes. The chapter considers the significance of Kurdish transnational indigeneity for understanding indigeneity and transnationality, as well as the various possible consequences of the Kurdish issue being increasingly framed and understood as a transnational indigenous one. It calls for a linguistic and conceptual shift towards transnational indigeneity in the field of Kurdish studies.”
