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"--cProvided by publisher. 0aPolitics and warzIraqxHistoryy20th century. 0aWar and societyzIraqxHistoryy20th century. 0aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988xPolitical aspectszIraq. 0aIran-Iraq War, 1980-1988xSocial aspectszIraq. 0aPersian Gulf War, 1991xPolitical aspectszIraq. 0aPersian Gulf War, 1991xSocial aspectszIraq. 0aIraqxPolitics and governmenty1979-1991.
