  Explores the connection between identity and power in Iraq's history, and provides a context for understanding complicated struggles. Drawing on a mixture of 'high' and popular forms of expression, this book identifies the tropes of Iraqi culture, such as symbols of redemptive suffering amongst the Shi'ites, or courage amongst the Bedouins.
