Items related to Michiel Hegener: The Kurds of Iraq
The Kurds of Iraq have been making headlines for many decades: in the eighties and early nineties mostly as victims of brutal suppression, in the mid-nineties as victims of each others heavy in-fighting, and since then mainly through their success in achieving a high degree of independence and prosperity within Iraq. The Kurds of Iraq is a book about the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, governed by the highly autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government. The IKR has a 200,000-strong army, its own borders and border patrols, and even its very own stamps. In stark contrast with its volatile past, the IKR, often referred to as The Other Iraq, enjoys a high degree of safety and a booming economy. While most books about the Kurds of Iraq focus solely on military, political and humanitarian issues, this book provides unique insights into their farming methods, the position of women, journalism, telecommunications, life in the villages, leisure and, not least, the magnificent archaeological treasures to be found there.

Product Description:
Since the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi Kurdistan has enjoyed considerable autonomy, with its own government, border controls and even stamps. In contrast to the rest of Iraq, it is a heartening success story, enjoying peace, stability, and a booming economy. While much previous commentary has focused on political, military and humanitarian issues, this handsome volume, lavishly illustrated with superb colour photographs, offers a unique glimpse of the region's life and people, its farming methods, its media, and the position of women.
