{"product_id":"bullets-in-envelopes-louis-yako-9780745341989","title":"Bullets in Envelopes: Iraqi Academics in Exile","description":"Following the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, many Iraqi academics were assassinated. Countless others received bullets in envelopes and instructions to leave their institutions (and in many cases the country) or get killed. Many heeded the warning and fled into exile. Having played such a pivotal role in shaping post-independence Iraqi society, the exile and internal displacement of its academics has had a profound impact. Tracing the academic, political, and social lives of more than 60 academics, Bullets in Envelopes offers a 'genealogy of loss', and a groundbreaking appraisal of the dismantling and restructuring of Iraqi institutions, culture and society. Through extensive fieldwork in the UK, Jordan and Iraqi Kurdistan, Louis Yako shows the human side of the destructive 2003 occupation, how things are today, and how they came to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Yako\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745341985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745341989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.28w x 0.79d","brand":"Louis Yako","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982738096383,"sku":"9780745341989","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4074911-bb96-4a3a-8d40-78c5490a3fb9.jpg?v=1683262775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bullets-in-envelopes-louis-yako-9780745341989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
