How Nashville became a destination for Kurdish families, and how the community is evolving

from Curious Nashville · host Nashville Public Radio

Many Nashvillians are aware that the city is home to “Little Kurdistan,” which is the largest Kurdish community in America. However, it’s easy to know that fact without really understanding these neighbors. We unpack how Nashville became a destination for Kurdish refugees starting in the late 1970s and hear from local Kurds about their future hopes and ambitions. To hear more stories of Nashville Kurds, check out the discussion on This Is Nashville from Sept. 8, 2022.
