National Ambition, Divergent Vision: Consensus and Fracture among Iraqi Youth Activists of the Tishreen Movement
(2022)- Abstract
- In speaking with youth leaders of the Tishreen movement from various cities across the country, what becomes obvious is that while the large lines of national renewal are agreed upon – the need for a new Iraqi identity and new basis for Iraqi nationalism, radical transformation in the practice of power – important points of fracture in their own vision as well as methods for achieving change can be identified. Nonetheless, a shared oppositional consciousness and dedication to the movement itself, as well as underlying and perhaps generationally significant importance assigned to secularism, act as resources for continued mobilization despite repression and strategic impasse.
