| dc.description.abstract | This thesis argues that despite Iraq’s multi-ethnic and multi-confessional makeup, a national sentiment was created throughout decades of secular state-building during the 20th century that engendered a sense of “Iraqi-ness” among Iraq’s disparate groups. I contend that this national sentiment was disrupted largely as a result of three major events: the 1979 Iranian Revolution; the 1991 Gulf War (and sanctions regime); and the policies implemented by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) following the 2003 US occupation of Iraq. While the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the 1991 Gulf War (and sanctions regime) were instrumental in laying the foundation for growing social cleavages between Iraq’s primary ethnic and sectarian groups, the politicized nature of ethnic and sectarian identities would not be possible without the policies implemented by the CPA from April 2003 to June 2004. | en_US |
