Circassia in the World History - Paperback

by Hamed Kazemzadeh (Author)

The book of Circassia in the World History was written during Hamed Kazemzadeh's Ph.D. studies at the University of Warsaw in Poland. The book aimed to investigate how the Circassians have used from their language and culture in different domains to establish a specific ethnolinguistic identity in the North Caucasus and to examine the cultural elements that they have preserved since the 19th century to their contemporary history in the World History. It also tried to disclose the effects that facilitated them in protecting some of the Circassian cultural sights. The cultural elements for having a common identity that is mainly preserved were cuisine, folklore, music, and celebrations. On the other hand, they preserved Adige Xabse that is a group of social refined manners that are based on respect, honor, hospitality, responsibility, self-control, discipline, and good character, which is passed naturally to generations. Historical awareness was concerned with major 19th-century historical events that mainly reflected the suffering of their ancestors.
