For Iraqi Americans
The Identity Between Mesopotamia and the Aftermath
Name your identity spanning Mesopotamia to now.
For the Iraqi American person working through what it means to carry Iraqi identity — the ancient civilization, the multiple wars, the sectarian complexity, the diaspora — into an American life
The Name It First Experience
Iraq carries the weight of one of the world's oldest civilizations alongside the devastation of modern war. You carry both — the ancient cultural inheritance, the family stories from before the war, the specific trauma of displacement and loss, and the life you are building in America. You navigate being Iraqi in a country that knows your homeland primarily through news coverage of conflict. This workbook is about naming what Iraqi identity means to you personally. You leave with The Iraqi American Identity Document — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does it mean to be Iraqi American — between Mesopotamia and the aftermath?
- What does Iraqi identity mean to you personally — the ancient civilization, the culture, the multiple wars?
- What are you building in America with what your family carried from Iraq?
Research basis
Grounded in Iraqi diaspora research / Berry (1997) acculturation / war and displacement identity formation / and Mesopotamian heritage identity in diaspora.
