description The Kurdish diaspora has organised itself quite quickly, especially since the 1980 Coup in Turkey. Although the diasporic space may in general be described as decentralized, Sweden appears to take a major part in the field of linguistic and literary activities. This is due both to the commitment of the migrants to the Kurdish cause and to the migration and cultural policies of the Swedish state. On the one hand, the migration policies enable migrant population to learn their mother tongue, considered as the vehicle of their culture. Education in Kurdish language has thus developed and become institutionalised in the host country since the beginning of the 1980s. On the other hand, cultural policies allocate grant and funding to cultural institutions and writers, which then contributes to the development of strong Kurdish archiving editorial and writing activities. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the relationships between the migrants in Sweden and the homeland have grown more intense, highlighting the diasporic organisation of the community. However, with the legislation reforms, new possibilities granted to Kurdish publishers and writers in Turkey may transform the role of the Kurdish diaspora in Sweden.
