Traces the dynamic history of Iraq in the 20th century and reinserts the modern remnants of these peoples into its day-to-day concerns.
Presents a narrative history and analysis of the Assyrian experience in 20th century Iraq. This book includes comprehensive data pertaining to Iraqi Assyrian villages as well as ancient churches, monasteries, schools and other material culture edifices. It includes history and ethnographic research on the Assyrians.
Were they simply bystanders, victims of collateral damage who played a passive role in its history? Furthermore, how have they negotiated their position throughout various periods of Iraq''s state-building processes? This book details a narrative of Iraq in the twentieth century and refashions the Assyrian experience as an integral part of Iraq''s broader contemporary historiography. It is the first comprehensive account to contextualize a native experience alongside the emerging state. Using primary and secondary data, this book offers a nuanced exploration of the dynamics that have affected and determined the trajectory of the Assyrians'' experience in twentieth-century Iraq.
