Iraq is a sophisticated, secular country that has been known as the cradle of civilization for 5,000 years. Yet for Westerners fed on CNN, the country is a desert populated by Republican Guards, looting mobs and wailing women. The stories of real Iraqis are rarely heard. Dancing in the No-Fly Zone gives them a voice.Hadani Ditmars has visited Iraq six times in as many years. A woman and an Arab, she can go places most war correspondents never see. Here she writes of her encounters with ordinary Iraqis, bowed but not broken, struggling to go to the theatre, run a hairdressing salon or buy goods on the black market.At one miraculous party during a bombing campaign, Ditmars saw an Iraqi journalist dance with an American reporter while government minders clapped them on. A people who have suffered so much yet can still dance deserve to be portrayed in the full depth of their humanity. It is this spirit that Ditmars captures in Dancing in the No-Fly Zone.

Keywords for Travel Writing Studies draws on the notion of the ‘keyword’ as initially elaborated by Raymond Williams in his seminal 1976 text Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society to present 100 concepts central to the study of travel writing as a literary form. Each entry in the volume is around 1,000 words, the style more essayistic than encyclopaedic, with contributors reflecting on their chosen keyword from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The emphasis on travelogues and other cultural representations of mobility drawn from a range of national and linguistic traditions ensures that the volume has a comparative dimension; the aim is to give an overview of each term in its historical and theoretical complexity, providing readers with a clear sense of how the selected words are essential to a critical understanding of travel writing. Each entry is complemented by an annotated bibliography of five essential items suggesting further reading.

Previously published histories and primary source collections on the Iraqi experience tend to be topically focused or dedicated to presenting a top-down approach. By contrast, Stacy Holden's A Documentary History of Modern Iraq gives voice to ordinary Iraqis, clarifying the experience of the Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Jews, and women over the past century. Through varied documents ranging from short stories to treaties, political speeches to memoirs, and newspaper articles to book excerpts, the work synthesizes previously marginalized perspectives of minorities and women with the voices of the political elite to provide an integrated picture of political change from the Ottoman Empire in 1903 to the end of the second Bush administration in 2008. Covering a broad range of topics, this bottom-up approach allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the lives of everyday Iraqis as they navigate regime shifts from the British to the Hashemite monarchy, the political upheaval of the Persian Gulf wars, and beyond. Brief introductions to each excerpt provide context and suggest questions for classroom discussion. This collection offers raw history, untainted and unfiltered by modern political framework and thought, representing a refreshing new approach to the study of Iraq.
