Featuring poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and graphic work by both emerging and well-established writers, this collection recognizes the complex web of physical and lingual displacement of the Kurdish people. It presents work originally written in English and work translated from Kurdish dialects as well as from Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Swedish. A few works in Kurdish dialects appear alongside their translations, both in recognition of the history of linguicide and to push against oppressive attempts to strip away Kurdish language. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This collection showcases variety in representation, point of view, identity, intersectional experience, geographical context, and style. What emerges is the anthesis of erasure. \u003ci\u003eSleeping in the Courtyard\u003c\/i\u003e brings together historically isolated writers in community - and invites readers to join around their table to share in their stories, laughter, tears, secrets, memories, and warmth.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Arkansas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656107159832,"sku":"9781682262733","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sleeping-in-the-courtyard-contemporary-kurdish-writers-in-diaspora-paperback-softback-9781682262733","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
