This is the first part of a three-parts episode on the history of Kurdish-Palestinian relationship. In this part, I talk to Dr. Abdel Razzaq (Abed) Takriti about his chapter in a forthcoming book titled “The Political and Cultural History of Kurds.” This book, edited by Amir Harrak, will be published by Peter Lang, and it is dedicated to the prominent Kurdish scholar Professor Amir Hassanpour, who was a long-time friend and comrade of the Palestinian People and their struggle. Dr Takriti in his chapter in this book titled “The Kurd and the Wind: The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian-Kurdish Affiliation,” talks about the relationship between the renowned Palestinian poet Mahmood Darwish and the prominent Kurdish poet and writer from Rojava, Salim Barakat.
Dr. Abdel Razzaq Takriti is the inaugural holder of the Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in Modern Arab History, Associate Professor at the Department of History, and founding Director of the Arab-American Educational Foundation Center for Arab Studies, University of Houston. His research focuses on the history of revolutions, intellectual and political currents, and state-building in the modern Arab world as well as on global histories of empire and anti-colonialism.
