Iraq: The Search for National Indentity

by Liora Lukitz

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The 1990-1991 crisis in the Middle East and the disturbances that followed, threw the deep-seated divisions within the Iraqi population into focus. This book examines the complexities of the internal cultural, political and religious conflict within the modern state of Iraq.

Book News Annotation:

Lukitz analyzes the complexities stemming from Britain's assemblage of three Ottoman provinces after WWI, offering a new explanation for the conflicts since Iraq's inception as a modern state. She focuses on the contradictory cultural, political, and religious divisions in Iraqi society between 1920 and 1960, and establishes terms of comparison by redefining class as social groups that are conditioned primarily by communal and religious affiliations. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
