The modern history of Iraq is punctuated by a series of successive
and radical ruptures (coups d'etat, changes of regime, military
adventures and foreign invasions) whose chronological markers are
relatively easy to identify. Although researchers cannot ignore
these ruptures, they should also be encouraged to establish links
between the moments when the breaks occur and the longue duree, in
order to gain a better understanding of the period.Combining a
variety of different disciplinary and methodological perspectives,
this collection of essays seeks to establish some new markers which
will open fresh perspectives on the history of Iraq in the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and suggest a narrative that
fits into new paradigms. The book covers the various different
periods of the modern state (the British occupation and mandate,
the monarchy, the first revolutions and the decades of Ba'thist
rule) through the lens of significant groups in Iraq society,
including artists, film-makers, political and opposition groups,
members of ethnic and religious groups, and tribes.
