Through her deep knowledge and long-term engagement with Iraqi politics, Sayej advances our understanding of how the post-Saddam Iraqi nation was built.
Caroleen Marji Sayej teaches government and international relations at Connecticut College. She is co-editor of The Iraq Papers.
"Patriotic Ayatollahs makes two important contributions in understanding post-Saddam Iraq. Caroleen Sayej challenges the simplistic narrative viewing Iraq in exclusively ethno-sectarian and claiming that the Iraqi state is completely artificial and its population has no sense of national identity. Second, she highlights the role played by informal actors, the Ayatollahs, in shaping the post-2003 state and addressing political conflicts and issues of legitimacy, identity, and governance."
Robert Lee, Professor of Political Science at Colorado College:
"Patriotic Ayatollahs sheds light on the religious establishment in Najaf and its role in Iraqi politics. Sayej writes with clarity and straight-forwardness, and it is highly readable."
