'A comprehensive, indispensable work' -- 'Sudwind' 'The discrimination, exclusion and persecution of the Yezidis did not just begin in 2014 with the so-called Islamic State. Thomas Schmidinger shows with great dedication the anatomy of a subtle genocide against the Yezidis in last two hundred years' -- Professor Jan Ilhan Kizilhan, Director of the Institute for Genocide and Peace Studies, Stuttgart 'An important book delving into the history and recent memory of the community, a vivid reminder of how the past and present of the Yezidis continue to be painfully intertwined' -- Nelida Fuccaro, Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at the New York University Abu Dhabi 'Thomas Schmidinger is one the best experts on the region. This book is a must read' -- Josef Weidenholzer, former MEP and Professor Emeritus, University of Linz, Austria 'Fills a void in the literature.
