The J.K. was then transformed into the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which later changed its name to the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) in 1945. Offering a historical sociology, the book argues that this movement should be understood within the context of the state-building process in Iran and nationalist and national liberation movements in the world. It offers, for the first time and in any language, the most extensively researched and detailed history of the PDKI, its struggles for Kurdish national rights, its programs, organizational structure, political strategies, achievements, internal conflicts, splits and unifications, women's status within it, and its relations with other parties. It critically analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the PDKI.While the PDKI has championed a democratic Kurdish nationalist movement, it has heavily undermined the democratic principles within and outside the party and underestimated women's potential within the movement. For the PDKI to re-emerge as a party in sync with our times, it needs to undergo a radical reform and democratize its internal and external relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nasser Jahani ASL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991517478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.53d","brand":"Nasser Jahani Asl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52418866806965,"sku":"9798991517478","price":40.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7e5505dd-bbb4-4044-9fa2-d56cf60de9a3.jpg?v=1775570640","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kurdish-nationalism-an-analytical-history-of-the-democratic-party-of-iranian-kurdistan-an-analytical-history-of-the-democratic-party-of-iranian-kurd-9798991517478","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
