Dina Rizk Khoury has written on the Iraqi provinces of the Ottoman Empire in the early modern period. Her research has focused on the social history and political culture of the Ottoman provinces with particular emphasis on urban rebellions and Islamic reform agendas. Her current research interests include the relationship of memory to identity and the impact of violence on Middle Eastern societies. Funded by the Social Science American Council of Learned Societies, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment of the Humanities, and most recently, the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, she is currently completing War and Remembrance in Iraq. This book examines the ways in which the Iraqi government under the Ba`th regime sought to mobilize its soldiers and citizenry to support its war effort during the 1980s and 1990s. Part of her research is based on interviews with Iraqi veterans and intellectuals who fought in the wars or worked for the state's cultural institutions. (Complete C.V.)
