When US-led forces invaded Iraq in 2003, they occupied a country
that had been at war for 23 years. Yet in their attempts to
understand Iraqi society and history, few policy makers, analysts
and journalists took into account the profound impact that Iraq's
long engagement with war had on the Iraqis' everyday engagement
with politics, the business of managing their daily lives, and
their cultural imagination. Drawing on government documents and
interviews, Dina Rizk Khoury traces the political, social and
cultural processes of the normalization of war in Iraq during the
last twenty-three years of Ba'thist rule. Khoury argues that war
was a form of everyday bureaucratic governance and examines the
Iraqi government's policies of creating consent, managing
resistance and religious diversity, and shaping public culture.
Coming on the tenth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq,
this book tells a multilayered story of a society in which war has
become the norm.
