Kurdish Literary Movement in the Baghdad City Historical research 1958-1975

Abstract

Baghdad city is considered as one of the most prominent places for Kurdish intellectual movement. Residing the Kurds in Baghdad has a deep-rooted history that belongs to the stage of pre-establishing Iraq as a state and recognizing Baghdad as its capital; this basically associates with many historical and geographical factors. The geographical factor is one of the noticeable factors that are related to the closeness of Kurdish territories to Baghdad. However, the intellectual group among the residents has had a crucial role in establishing the intellectual movement at the city. Along with its long history, the movement has also been impacted by so many political events after the establishment of Iraq. The 1958 revolution, for instance, created an environment where freedom of publishing and expressing national and political opinions has been liberated.
