The primary objective of this book is to unearth the Mosul
Incident, place it in a historical narrative and introduce it to
the literature. Despite creating a historical turning point, the
incident has not attracted the necessary attention in neither the
Ottoman nor Iraqi historiography until now. By interpreting the
preferences, policies and practices associated with this particular
incident, the book is engaged to analyze the Post-Constitutional
power shifts, perceptions of collective violence and the origins of
Arab-Kurdish Dispute. The banishment and murder of Sheikh Said
Barzanji who was the family head of Sadaat al-Barzanjiyya as the
most influential religious organization of region, created a
critical threshold in the history of Mosul. As the urban shootout
on January 5 turned into a provincial bloodshed, Kurdish Sayyids,
tribes and religious orders consolidated and revolted against the
Ottoman authorities. Governors who were polarized as Anti Sâdât
and Pro Sâdât allegedly misconducted their offices and misguided
the authorities of law enforcement and judiciary. By overcoming the
historical rupture between Ottoman Mosul and Modern Iraq, the book
introduces an analytical framework to associate the origins of
collective violence and ethnic fragmentation experienced in
today’s Iraq with the past.
