Publisher's Synopsis
The Kobane Generation examines the mobilisation of Kurdish diaspora communities in France in the context of the Syrian civil war and political unrest in Turkey and Iraq in the 2010s. It pays particular attention to how the second generation - the descendants of Kurdish migrants - mobilised in an unprecedented manner in the recent history of Kurdish mobilisations in Europe. The book offers important insights on the generational dynamics of diasporic mobilisations and more broadly of second-generation political activism beyond the diaspora context. The Kobane Generation: Kurdish Diaspora Mobilising in France has been awarded the 2022 Alixa Naff Book Prize in Migration Studies
