THE KURDISH SPRING: A NEW MAP OF THE MIDDLE EAST
Book ID/图书代码： 13149014B75839
English Summary/英文概要： Kurds are the largest stateless people in the world. An estimated thirty-two million Kurds live in “Kurdistan,” which includes parts of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran—today’s “hot spots” in the Middle East. The Kurdish Spring explores the subjugation of Kurds by Arab, Ottoman, and Persian powers for almost a century, and explains why Kurds are now evolving from a victimized people to a coherent political community.
David L. Phillips describes Kurdish rebellions and arbitrary divisions in the last century, chronicling the nadir of Kurdish experience in the 1980s. He discusses draconian measures implemented by Iraq, including use of chemical weapons, Turkey’s restrictions on political and cultural rights, denial of citizenship and punishment for expressing Kurdish identity in Syria, and repressive rule in Iran.
Phillips forecasts the collapse and fragmentation of Iraq. He argues that US strategic and security interests are advanced through cooperation with Kurds, as a bulwark against ISIS and Islamic extremism. This work will encourage the public to look critically at the post-colonial period, recognizing the injustice and impracticality of states that were created by Great Powers, and offering a new perspective on sovereignty and statehood.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 库尔德人是世界上最大的无国界人。估计有三千二百万库尔德人居住在“库尔德”，其中包括土耳其、伊拉克、叙利亚和伊朗---如今中东的“热点”。《库尔德人的春天》探讨了近一个世纪中库尔德人被阿拉伯、奥斯曼帝国和波斯征服的历史，解释了为何库尔德人从一个受害者演变成一个连贯的政治共同体。
David L.Phillips描述了上个世纪的库尔德叛乱以及任意瓜分，记录了20世纪80年代库尔德人经历的最低点。他讨论了由伊拉克实施的严厉措施，包括使用化学武器，土耳其对政治和文化权利的限制，叙利亚否认公民权利以及因表达库尔德人身份而受惩罚，以及伊朗的专制统治。
Phillips预测伊拉克的倒塌与瓦解。他认为，美国的战略和安全利益通过与库尔德合作而得到了提高，作为抵抗伊西斯和伊斯兰极端主义。这项工作将鼓励公众仔细审视后殖民时期，认识由大国产生的国家不公正和不切实际，并为主权和独立提供了新的视角。(LNL)

“The Kurdish Spring tells an important story about the historic betrayal and abuse of the Kurds. It also describes current challenges presented by Iraq’s near collapse and the rise of ISIS. David L. Phillips is well qualified to discuss the future of Kurdistan. He has been on the ground for twenty-five years, offering insights as both a scholar and practitioner. The Kurdish Spring is finally hopeful, as Kurds make progress towards their security and sovereignty.”— Bill Richardson, former Governor of New Mexico
