Summary "This book tells the story of rebel poetry in Iraq from the early twentieth century to the dawn of the Ba'thist era. It emphasizes the social relevance of rebel poetry by showing how poetry was composed, recited, disseminated, criticized, and punished. And it documents the role of poets as national spokesmen in the long struggle for national liberation, locating their ideas and actions in the global currents of anticolonial modernity"-- Provided by publisher.
