The Iraqi Baʿth state’s Anfāl operations (1987-1991) is one of
the twentieth century’s ultimate acts of destruction of the
possibility of being human. It remains the first and only crime of
state in the Middle East to be tried under the 1948 UN Genocide
Convention, the 1950 Nuremberg Principles, and the 1969 Iraqi Penal
Code and to be recognized as genocide, crimes against humanity, and
war crimes in Baghdad between 2006 and 2007. Being Human:
Political Modernity and Hospitality in Kurdistan-Iraq offers
an unprecedented pathway to the study of political violence. It is
a sweeping work of anthropological hospitality, returning to the
Anfāl operations as the violence of political modernity only to
turn to the human survivors’ hospitality and acts of
translation—testimonial narratives, law, politics, archive,
poetry, artworks, museums, memorials, symbolic cemeteries, and
infinite pursuit of justice in the Kurdistan Region of
Iraq. Being Human gathers together social sciences,
humanities, and the arts to understand modernity's violence
and its living on. Â
