I won’t let them be like me
Ezidi people (Yezidi/Yazidi) and their culture suffered greatly at the hands of Daesh before, during, and after the 2014 Sinjar (Shingal) Genocide. Since the resulting forced migration, the Ezidi community as one of the most marginalised societies in the Middle East has undergone a significant amount of society-wide transformation. New avenues for agency have opened, and Shingali Ezidi women have taken these opportunities to express transformed identities, filling spaces previously unavailable, and altering “traditional” gender roles. This first extensive ethnographic work ever conducted with Ezidi women examines origins and developments of transformations in their female identity and agency. The analysis of their expressions and performances is particularly notable because of the subaltern position under numerous layers of minority, e.g. ethnicity, geography, religion, politics, culture, language, as well as gender. The aim of this study is to investigate the utilisation of subaltern identity to actualise agency among women after genocide.

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria: Between A Rock and A Hard Place
This book is based on papers presented at the conference. However, it is not a typical publication of academic conference proceedings because the topics are not completely congruent with those of the conference. Some lectures that could not be held due to travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic were submitted as book contributions. In addition, I also wrote a short contribution on the Jewish history of the region, which has been often neglected in previous presentations of the region. The various authors for this volume have been intensively involved with the region in recent years. However, the authors do not only focus on the situation on the ground, but also on the interna...

Die Darstellung des Jesidentums und der Jesiden in deutschen Leitmedien 2000-2024
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2025 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig (Institut für Geschichtswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Obwohl die mediale Berichterstattung über Jesiden seit dem Genozid 2014 deutlich zugenommen hat, herrscht in der Öffentlichkeit nach wie vor eine große Unkenntnis über ihre Religion, Geschichte und kulturellen Strukturen. Zwar ist der Begriff „Jesiden“ vielen ein Begriff, doch was genau hinter der Religionsgemeinschaft steht, bleibt oft unklar oder wird durch stereotype Vorstellungen und Missverständnissen verzerrt, die das Jesidentum seit Jahrhunderten begleiten. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit die mediale Darstellung des Jesidentums und der Jesiden in deutschen Leitmedien im Zeitraum von 2000 bis 2024. Auf Grundlage von über 2500 Artikeln aus der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung, der Süddeutschen Zeitung, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel und Die Welt analysiert die Studie die Darstellung zentraler Aspekte von Religion, Geschichte, Kultur und Geografie.
Yezidis in Syria
Yezidis in Syria: Identity Building among a Double Minority traces the development of Yezidi identity on the margins of Syria’s minority context. This little known group is connected to the community’s main living area in northern Iraq, but evolved as a separate identity group in the context of Syria’s colonial, national, and revolutionary history. Always on the bottom of the socio-economic hierarchy, the two sub-groups located in the Kurdagh and the Jezira experience a period of sociological and theological renewal in their quest for a recognized and protected status in the new Syria. In this book, Sebastian Maisel transmits and analyzes the Yezidi perspective on Syria’s policies towards ethnic and religious minorities.
