To this end, the book looks critically at the unfavourable political situations of the Kurds in the post-WW1 era, which began with the emergence of three new modern nation-states in the Middle East?Turkey, Iraq, and Syria?as well as related modernising events in Iran. It demonstrates the dire consequences of oppressive international and regional state policies against the Kurds, which led to mass displacement and forced migration of the Kurds from the 1920s on. The first part of the book sets out the context required to explain the historic and systematic sociopolitical marginalisation of the Kurds in the Middle Eastern region until the present day. In the second part, the book attempts to explain the formation of Kurdish diaspora communities in different European cities, and to describe their new and positive shifting position from victims in the Middle East to active citizens in Europe. This book examines Kurdish diaspora integration and identity in some major cities in Sweden, Finland and Germany, with a specific focus and an in-depth discussion on the negotiation of multiculturalism in London. This book uncovers the gaps in the existing literature, and critically highlights the dominance of policy- and politics-driven research in this field, thereby justifying the need for a more radical social constructivist approach by recognising flexible, multifaceted, and complex human cultural behaviours in different situations through the consideration of the lived experiences and by presenting more direct voices of members of the Kurdish diaspora in London, and by articulating the new and radical concept of Kurdish Londoner. . 410 0$aMigration, Diasporas and Citizenship,$x2662-2610 606 $aEmigration and immigration?Social aspects 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aEthnology?Great Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aSociology of Migration 606 $aDiaspora Studies 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aHuman Migration 615 0$aEmigration and immigration?Social aspects. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aEthnology?Great Britain. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aSociology of Migration. 615 24$aDiaspora Studies. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aHuman Migration. 676 $a304.82 700 $aAta$b Ayar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01354616 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682565003321 996 $aTransnational Migration, Diaspora, and Identity$93346412 997 $aUNINA
