Fire, Snow and Honey : Voices from Kurdistan

"Fire, Snow and Honey" is a landmark book, which lifts many veils of secrecy.

For the first time Kurdish men and women, aged between 23 to 103 - including freedom fighters and soldiers, mothers and musicians, doctors, teachers, and scholars, villagers and city people - describe their ancient and modern history, culture and life experiences: their religions, literature, legends, music, dancing, foods, village and family life, genocide, and armed struggles.

Kurdistan is shown to be the land of Noah and Abraham, a land of mountains, rivers and oil.

In 1923, the League of Nations divided it into the nation-states of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Since then the Kurdish people, numbering between 30 and 40 million, have been subject to genocide, their survival only ensured by an indomitable culture and spirit.
