Les constructions de l’identité kurde sous l’influence de la « connexion kurdo-française » au Levant (1930-1946)

Starting with the study of Orientalism in the interwar period, this paper focuses on when, why and how the Kurdish elite was engaged in constructing a viable concept of Kurdish identity.
