Book Review: Benjamin Raßbach, Landscapes of Resistance: Narratives around Sacred Places in Sinjar (Iraq) and the Islamic State’s Genocide against the Yezidis, Iran and the Caucasus Monographs, vol. IV (Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2024), 385 pages
Peter Nicolaus served as a diplomat for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Armenia, Georgia, Germany, Northern Iraq, and Turkey and has been professionally and privately in close contact with the Yezidi communities in these countries since 1986. He has published numerous articles on their community and religion as well as on the tragedy of the recent Yezidi genocide. However, the opinions expressed and statements made in his article are not necessarily those of UNHCR or the United Nations.
