Abstract: »Tutku Ayhan explores one of the most brutal legacies of ISIS’s violence: the challenges of reintegrating Yezidi women whom ISIS captured and abused. She describes the increasing salience of Yezidi identity in violence but also how reintegration is redefining the boundaries and social norms of the community. Similar to Sistani’s role in the Shi‘i community, Ayhan describes the critical role played by the chief Yezidi spiritual leader in inducing that community’s acceptance of the return of captured women (but not their “IS babies”).« (Source: Lynch, Marc, and David Siddhartha Patel. »Introduction: Religion, Violence, and the State in Iraq.« Religion, Violence, and the State in Iraq.
