Iraqi Culture

Excellent overview from EveryCulture.com

Although excellent, this article appears to have been written before the 2003 invasion, so it's important to keep that in mind. There is a lot of literature out there on post-2003 Iraq, much of it focusing on the military and policy options facing the US Government. For the "on the ground" perspective, I highly recommend listening to War News Radio, an independent radio show out of Swarthmore College (full disclosure: my good friend and colleague Amelia Templeton was a founding member). You can download it for free from iTunes as a podcast, including past editions.
