Interactions between citizens and their rulers shaped the social fabric and political realities of the city. Notably, low-ranking Ba'th party officials functioned as crucial intermediaries, deciding how regime policies would be applied. Charting the social, economic, and political transformations of Iraq's capital city, Alissa Walter examines how national policies translated into action at the local, everyday level. With this book, Walter reveals how authoritarian governance worked in practice. She follows shifts in mid-century housing and urban development, the impact of the Iran-Iraq and Gulf wars on city life, and the manipulation of food rations and growth of black markets. Reading citizen petitions to the government, Walter illuminates citizens' self-advocacy and the important role of low-ranking party officials and state bureaucrats embedded within neighborhoods. The US occupation and ensuing sectarian fighting upended Baghdad's neighborhoods through violent displacement and the collapse of basic state services. This power vacuum paved the way for new power brokers, including militias and neighborhood councils, to compete for influence on the local level"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Iraq$2bisacsh 607 $aBaghdad (Iraq)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aBaghdad (Iraq)$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aBaghdad (Iraq)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aBaghdad (Iraq)$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government$y1958- 607 $aIraq$xHistory$y1958- 610 $aBaghdad. 610 $aBa?th Party. 610 $aGulf War (1990-91). 610 $aIran-Iraq War (1980-1988). 610 $aSaddam Hussein. 610 $aUS-Iraq War (2003-2011). 610 $aneighborhood. 610 $apetitions. 610 $asanctions. 610 $astate-society relations. 610 $awomen and gender. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Iraq. 676 $a956.7/47 700 $aWalter$b Alissa$02009566 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911117276403321 996 $aContested City$94797101 997 $aUNINA
