Feyli Kurds in The United Kingdom: Migration, Integration, and Transnationalism

Feylis，也被称为Feyli库尔德人，在英国的伊拉克侨民群体的研究中被忽视了移民后的经历。很难找到专门对这个历史上重要的民族宗教群体感兴趣的学术文献。考虑到学术界对亚述人和雅兹人等其他伊拉克散居民族的关注，这种研究差距是惊人的（King，2005年; Cook等人，2021年）。这项研究旨在通过分析社会融合模式以及社会边界的建立或维持来帮助弥合这一差距（维默，2013年）。它还探讨了Feylis与他们的直接社区的社会关系，以及他们在英国的经验的一部分，他们的跨国联系。在这方面，研究将试图了解Feyli社区的社会融合，以及他们如何通过民族志和档案相结合的方法来确定社区在联合王国的社会文化和政治地位，从而在散居地保留其宗教和种族身份。在这样做的过程中，这项研究将展示如何在英国的Feyli社区的经验可能会推进围绕整合的辩论。还将研究政府政策对这一进程的影响。

The post-migration experience of the Feylis, also known as Feyli Kurds, has been overlooked in the studies of Iraqi diaspora groups in the United Kingdom. It is difficult to find scholarly literature exclusively interested in this historically significant ethno-religious group. This research gap is striking considering the substantial academic focus that has been given to other Iraqi diaspora ethnic groups such as the Assyrians and the Yazidis (King, 2005; Cook et al., 2021). This study aims to help bridge this gap by analysing social integration patterns and the creation or maintenance of social boundaries (Wimmer, 2013). It also explores Feylis' social ties with their immediate communities as well as their transnational connections as part of their experience in the United Kingdom. In this respect, the research will attempt to understand the social integration of Feyli community and the ways they have managed to retain their religious and ethnic identities in the diaspora through combining ethnographic and archival methods to identify the socio-cultural and political status of the community in the United Kingdom. In doing so, this research will demonstrate how the experience of the Feyli community in the UK may advance the debates arounds integration. The impact of government policy on this process will also be studied.
