Many sources, both foreign<br />and Iraqi, confirm the recollections of a British observer that<br />“the Revolution, when it came, corresponded so closely to the<br />opinion that had formed before, that everything that happened<br />seemed, in its turn, to be what one had already been taught<br />to expect.”(1) Paradoxically, it was the familiar unfolding of the<br />events as a revolutionary future that many Iraqis had previously<br />imagined—or a “future past,” to borrow Reinhart Koselleck’s<br />phrase(2)—that enabled them to be so widely experienced as<br />an absolute temporal rupture, the end of one time and the<br />beginning of another.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Kufa Review (Discontinued)}, author={Pursley, Sara}, year={2014}, month={May} }
