Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This fine social history of the city of Kirkuk, in northern Iraq, traces a century of political upheaval.” —John Waterbury, Foreign Affairs Kirkuk is Iraq’s most multilingual city, for millennia home to a diverse population. It was also where, in 1927, a foreign company first struck oil in Iraq. Over the following decades, Kirkuk became the heart of Iraq’s booming petroleum industry. City of Black Gold tells a story of oil, urbanization, and colonialism in Kirkuk—and how these factors shaped the identities of Kirkuk’s citizens, forming the foundation of an ethnic conflict. Arbella Bet-Shlimon reconstructs the twentieth-century history of Kirkuk to question the assumptions about the past underpinning today’s ethnic divisions. In the early 1920s, when the Iraqi state was formed under British administration, group identities in Kirkuk were fluid. But as the oil industry fostered colonial power and Baghdad’s influence over Kirkuk, intercommunal violence and competing claims to the city’s history took hold. The ethnicities of Kurds, Turkmens, and Arabs in Kirkuk were formed throughout a century of urban development, interactions between communities, and political mobilization. Ultimately, this book shows how contentious politics in disputed areas are not primordial traits of those regions, but are a modern phenomenon tightly bound to the society and economics of urban life. Praise for City of Black Gold “Blending smooth storytelling and sharp analysis, Arbella Bet-Shlimon challenges readers to rethink much of what passes as conventional wisdom about Iraq, and about power, oil, and ethnicity in the twentieth century. A wonderful book, richly documented, accessible, and creative.” —Toby C. Jones, Rutgers University “City of Black Gold is essential for anyone interested in the modern history of Iraq and the roots of the standoff between the government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan regional government. Written with care and sensitivity, Arbella Bet-Shlimon’s history of Kirkuk is a delight to read.” —Joost Hiltermann, Middle East and North Africa Program Director, International Crisis Group “This remarkable study of Kirkuk uncovers the ways in which the city became—and did not become—part of the Iraqi state. Arbella Bet-Shlimon bravely covers silenced histories, as she encourages us to look at Iraqi history through its northern urban peripheries. A fascinating urban history.” —Orit Bashkin, University of Chicago

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for the peace conference that was expected to follow World War I, in the spring of 1917 the British Foreign Office established a special section responsible for preparing background information for use by British delegates to the conference. Mesopotamia is Number 63 in the series of more than 160 studies produced by the section, most of which were published after the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The study describes Mesopotamia as a loosely defined region consisting "of a great depression running south-east from the north-western corner of Syria and the mountains of Armenia down to the head of the Persian Gulf," roughly corresponding to the territory of present-day Iraq, along with small parts of present-day Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Chapter I discusses physical and political geography. Chapter II covers political history, with emphasis on the period of Turkish occupation from 1638 to 1914. Chapter III discusses social and political conditions and Chapter IV economic conditions. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, Britain was granted a League of Nations mandate over Mesopotamia, which was constituted as the state of Iraq on November 11, 1920. Britain granted independence to the Kingdom of Iraq in 1932.
Download or read book The Semitic Languages written by Stefan Weninger and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 1298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook The Semitic Languages offers a comprehensive reference tool for Semitic Linguistics in its broad sense. It is not restricted to comparative Grammar, although it covers also comparative aspects, including classification. By comprising a chapter on typology and sections with sociolinguistic focus and language contact, the conception of the book aims at a rather complete, unbiased description of the state of the art in Semitics. Articles on individual languages and dialects give basic facts as location, numbers of speakers, scripts, numbers of extant texts and their nature, attestation where appropriate, and salient features of the grammar and lexicon of the respective variety. The handbook is the most comprehensive treatment of the Semitic language family since many decades.
