Commentary by Martin van Bruinessen.
Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History is a comprehensive visual archive documenting the changing fortunes of the Kurdish people in the 20th century. Susan Meiselas gathers historical documents, maps, charts, and photographs from Western sources as well as personal albums of Kurdish families to create a collective memory. The work includes over 400 photos and accounts by colonial administrators, anthropologists, missionaries, soldiers, journalists, and freedom fighters. Anthropologist Martin van Bruinessen provides ethnographic commentary on the mountain tribe's way of life, offering context to the dispersed pieces of history presented in this vital national archive.
