Iranian ethnicity revealed at a macro level

Born into a Kurdish family, Kameel Ahmady a British-Kurdish scholar was plunged into the atmosphere of the intransigence of the Iranian minorities from his early childhood. His family lived in the region of so-called Mukriyan in the border region of Iranian Kurdistan, where internal conflicts were particularly intense. Having survived the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Iran-Iraq War, and domestic strife, he received an eclectic educational and life experience. He was destined to receive higher education abroad, at a young age when he was moved to the UK. He received a bachelor’s degree in printing and publishing from the London University of Communication and a master’s degree in social anthropology and visual ethnography from the University of Kent and pursued additional courses on research methods, Middle East and peace Studies at the London School of Economics and Birkbeck. His broad knowledge of the Middle East cultural norms and some of the under-researched topics of harmful traditional practices (HTP) became the basis for developing an extensive bibliography that now counts dozens of published books about Iran and articles, documentaries, and research on Iran and other countries.
