商品簡介
Scholars of religion, politics, and Iran survey religious communities besides mainstream Islamic in Kurdistan, covering Ahl-e Haqq (Yaresan/Kaka'i), Yezidis, Alevis, Sufi orders and Shabak, Jews, and Christians. Their topics include devotional practices of the Kurdish Ahl-e Haqq of Guran, current changes in the Yezidi system of transmission of religious knowledge and the status of spiritual authority, identity among Kurdish Alevis in the homeland and in diaspora, the Haqqa community as a heterodox movement with Sufi origins, Kurdish and neo-Aramaic literature of Kurdistani Jews, and the stereotype of the thieving Kurds among Syrian Christians concerning their coexistence with the Kurds.
