Living Iraq brings together scholars of history, culture, literature, ecology, law and the social sciences to explore how Iraqis have experienced and navigated a century shaped by imperial domination, authoritarian rule and popular struggle. Focusing on post-2003 Iraq, yet tracing continuities between past and present, this book examines everyday life, environmental harm and evolving legal and cultural practices.The contributions in this book offer a nuanced account of a society shaped by overlapping national and imperial power structures. Living Iraq highlights how Iraqis have endured, contested and reworked shifting regimes of sovereignty throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
