TY - JOUR T1 - Nirxandinek Li Ser Pirtûka The Kurds a Thomas Bois : Naverok, Girîngî û Pêbawerî TT - A Review of Thomas Bois's book The Kurds: Content, Importance, and Reliability AU - Bozkur, Nuh PY - 2025 DA - September Y2 - 2025 JF - Artuklu Kurdology PB - Mardin Artuklu University WT - DergiPark SN - 3062-0236 SP - 67 EP - 73 IS - 20 LA - ku AB - Beşeke mezin yên Kurdologên biyanî keşe û mîsyonerên xiristiyan in. Thomas Bois jî yek ji van kesan e. Bois, wekî keşeyek û Rojhilatnasek li Rojhilata Navîn maye û karê mîsyoneriyê kiriye. Li ser kurdan xebatên wî yên berfireh hene. Di pirtûka xwe ya bi navê The Kurds de di 11 beşan de derbarê kurdan de gelek agahî dane ku li gorî Bois ev pirtûk ji bo danasîna gelê kurd hatiye nivisîn. Ligel ku ev pirtûk bi awayekî orjînal bi frensî wekî Di derbarê Kurdan de Agahî (Connaissance des Kurdes) hatibe çapkirin jî me ji wergera îngîlîzî ya bi navê The Kurds ji aliyê naverok, girîngî û pêbaweriya akademîk ve nirxand. Di encamê de me dît ku serenav û naverokên pirtûkê hev digire, her çiqas bi sempatiyeke li hemberî kurdan nivîsandibe jî ji aliyê çavkanî, referans û dizayna Participant observation a xebatên etnografîk çavkaniyeke pêbawer e. Herwiha bi hin rexneyên xwe yên li ser romana kurdî û sedemên kêmbûna bikaranîna kurdî û tespîtên li ser hêmanên folklorîk yên kurdan rê li ber hin xebatên akademîk jî vedike. KW - Thomas Bois KW - Rojhilatnasî KW - Kurd KW - Kurdolojî N2 - A significant portion of foreign Kurdologists are Christian priests and missionaries. Thomas Bois is one of these Kurdologists. Bois lived in the Middle East as a priest and orientalist and carried out missionary activities. Bois, who has extensive studies on the Kurds, is also the author of the book "Kurds", which provides extensive information about the Kurds, consisting of 11 chapters, which he states were written to introduce the Kurdish people. Although this book was initially published in French under the title Connaissance des Kurdes, we evaluated its English translation under the title "The Kurds" in terms of content, importance and academic reliability. As a result, it was seen that the title and content of the book were consistent, and although it was written with sympathy for the Kurds, the source, reference and ethnographic studies were a reliable source with the Participant Observation design. It also opens the door to academic studies with its criticisms of Kurdish novels, the reasons for the decline in the use of Kurdish, and its findings on Kurdish folkloric elements. CR - Akin, S.
