Beskrivelse

This book considers different stages of Kurdish history, oppression, and genocide, through a critical lens offering an historiography of Iraq and of colonialism. Divided into two parts, the first part conceptualizes the term 'genocide culture' and examines dominant Iraqi cultural practices which fostered genocide. The second contextualizes the experiences of the Kurdish community to examine the effects of the cultural practices and the role of "civilian actors" in fuelling the extermination of targeted groups.

Through semi-structured interviews, primary archival documents, and non-participant observation the author studies the links between everyday cultural practices and microaggression in general and the nexus between the state and general population in the implementation of macroaggression and genocide. The audience will include scholars and students interested in genocide studies and the relation of both genocide and culture to histories of colonialism as well as those working in the fields of violence and cultural psychology, sociology, history, ethnic conflict, and Middle Eastern studies.
