Book Description
Long oppressed and without any real power despite their majority status, the Shi'is of Iraq have for decades seen their leaders assassinated or exiled and their rituals debased. But they have always constituted a force to be reckoned with, and will play a key role in the reshaping of Iraq. This book is a thorough investigation by one of the far most experts on the region into the origins and development of Iraqi shi'ite political activism from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Tracing the course of the shi'is quest for self representation, the book shows how their political formation has historically intersected with a variety of religious and geopolitical forces, from Sufism, Wahhabism, the British Mandate and the Faisal monarchy to pan-Arabism and Islamic Fundamentalism. As the newly created, oli-rich state of Iraq began to prosper, the shi'is had to contend with a series of modern-era strongman regimes culminating in the most violent of them all, the Ba'th rule under Saddam Hussein. A new generation of Shi'is attempted to adopt the structures of modernity while holding fast to the principles of Islamic orthodoxy. The various social movements spearheaded by shi'I religious leaders, the 'ulama, are examined in depth along with their power bases, and placed within the context of shi'ite community dynamics as a whole with a special study of the Arba'in pilgrimage, one of the world's holy processions.
Almost alone amongst observers of the region, Faleh A. Jabar greatly enlarges our understanding of shi'ism in its social, cultural, political and economic dimensions, and underscores the fact that Iraq's Shi'is have never constituted the homogeneous group that political analysts have too often insisted upon.
Timely and exhaustively researched, this book offers a perspective on the complexities of the Iraqi situation before and after the fall of Saddam Hussein, and is a valuable resource for understanding the active role of the shi'is in the country's future.
