- Abstract
- This paper is about Kurdish revolts and conflict groups in the 1920s and 1930s in Turkey. The study, which is founded on fieldwork, examines the emergence of violence, as well as mobilization processes of conflict groups during the revolts. Violence is viewed as a product of combination of factors, driving from the structural, to the conjunctural and to the symbolic. Indeed, I take into account the following: (i) transition from empire to nation state, (ii) material and symbolic modalities and practices of state making, (iii) mobilization of local ethnic and confessional groups as well as newly formed identities such as Kurdism and Islamism, and (iv) emerging policies of allies and conflicts at that time to explain the process of violence.
