Previously published histories and primary source collections on
the Iraqi experience tend to be topically focused or dedicated to
presenting a top-down approach. By contrast, Stacy Holden's A
Documentary History of Modern Iraq gives voice to ordinary Iraqis,
clarifying the experience of the Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Jews, and
women over the past century. Through varied documents ranging from
short stories to treaties, political speeches to memoirs, and
newspaper articles to book excerpts, the work synthesises
previously marginalised perspectives of minorities and women with
the voices of the political elite to provide an integrated picture
of political change from the Ottoman Empire in 1903 to the end of
the second Bush administration in 2008. Covering a broad range of
topics, this bottom-up approach allows readers to fully immerse
themselves in the lives of everyday Iraqis as they navigate regime
shifts from the British to the Hashemite monarchy, the political
upheaval of the Persian Gulf wars, and beyond. Brief introductions
to each excerpt provide context and suggest questions for classroom
discussion. This collection offers raw history, untainted and
unfiltered by modern political framework and thought, representing
a refreshing new approach to the study of Iraq.
