The Monument: Art and Vulgarity in Saddam Hussein's Iraq
Kanan Makiya
This text is a study of the interplay between art and politics - of how culture, normally an unquestioned good, can play into the hands of power with devastating effects. Kanan Makiya uses the culture invented by Saddam Hussein as a window into the nature of totalitarianism.
