| Summary |
On March 5th, 2007, a car bomb was exploded on al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad-the historic center of Baghdad bookselling-wounding more than 100 people and killing more than 30. This anthology begins with a historical introduction to al-Mutanabbi Street and includes the writing of Iraqis as well as a wide swath of international poets and writers who were outraged by this attack. Exploring the question Where does al-Mutanabbi Street start?, the book looks at both communities and nations, seeking to show the commonality between a small street in Baghdad and other individual cultural centers. |
