More DescriptionDavid Romano's book focuses on the Kurdish case to analyse ethnic nationalist resurgences. Throughout he examines these challenges to the state through the lens of social movement theory, considering in particular politico-social structures, resource mobilization strategies and cultural identity. His conclusions reveal some thought-provoking insights into Kurdish nationalism, as well as into social movement theories. While the book offers a rigorous conceptual approach, the empirical material makes it a compelling read. It will interest students of the Middle East, ethnic relations, minority rights, terrorism, state repression, and social movement theories.
