Newroz, nevruz, norooz, neurosis

For those interested in holidays as a site of minority identity contestation, here's my study of Newroz. My co-author examines Hui in China. Happy to share, DM me. https://t.co/kS2OiZJSqL

And I'll leave my co-authored article on holidays as sites of minority identity pushback against nationalizing efforts. Like the Turkish state's co-optation of Kurdish celebrations of Newroz into a Turkified Nevruz. https://t.co/kS2OiZJSqL

Thank you! We study states' use of holidays in nation-building, as well as minority groups' use of holidays as a site of contestation - a process we term "identity ownership" - in Turkey and China.
