High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Amjad Jaimoukha (name in Circassian: Жэмыхъуэ Амджэд; the Circassian personal name "Амыщ" is also sometimes quoted; in Circassian onomastic traditions the family name antecedes the personal name) (May 1962?) has written a number of books on North Caucasian – specifically Circassian and Chechen – culture and folklore. According to The Circassian Encyclopaedia (M. Mamser, 2009, in the entry "Amjad Jaimoukha"), "Jaimoukha is perhaps the most important writer on Circassian issues". He is considered one of the most influential Circassian writers and publicists in the last decade. In particular, he has been active in promoting and assisting a new crop of Circassian (and non-Circassian) writers working on raising the profile of Caucasian issues at the global level.
