(2021) Press in Hilla After World War II, Al-Tawheed Magazine January 30-June 29, 1946 a..… Introduction It is unavoidable to say that the history of the press, whether it is local or international, is still a fertile field and one of the tributaries of modern and contemporary historical studies and due to its importance in documenting historical, political and social events that it has witnessed and in a systematic way that is almost solid in terms of analysis and conclusion, many researchers and scholars took They draw on it and rely on it in their writings in various magazines, and based on the above, Al-Tawhid Al-Hilia magazine is one of the Iraqi magazines that chronicled with great care many of the events that Iraq experienced during the post-World War II period (1939-1945), which is one of the critical stages in the Its contemporary history What prompted us to delve into the field of study and analysis of Al-Tawheed magazine is the great impact that the magazine had on the Iraqi society in particular and the Iraqi society in general for dealing with various literary, political and cultural topics. It responded to the requirements of the Iraqi society, and since its establishment, it began to deal with all the local events related to Iraq in general, or the Hilla District in particular. The topic of the research was divided into two sections. The first topic discussed the signs that the local press experienced after the First World War, and then we were exposed to the reasons that prompted Mr. Hadi Hamad Kamal Al-Din to issue Al-Tawhid magazine in the city of Hilla on the thirtieth of January - all the way to the eighteenth of February 1946, and we stopped at it When the most important issues dealt with by the magazine during the first phase of its issuance, as for the second topic, it sheds light on the most important international and local events that had a great impact on the international community and the local community alike. The first topic: Mr. Hadi Hamad Kamal Al-Din and Al-Tawhid Magazine January 30 - February 28, 1946 The intellectuals and thinkers of the city of Hilla, with their various affiliations and intellectual and cultural orientations, were not far from recording their observations and concerns in the internal and external situations and on all political, cultural and social levels. The press was not far from the local society, especially in the first half of the twentieth century, so many local newspapers appeared that shed light on various political, social, cultural, economic and other affairs. For example, Al-Fayhaa newspaper, whose first issue was launched in 1927, owned by Mr. Abdul Razzaq Al-Hasani. (Ibrahim Khalil,2007.) , who pointed to the real feasibility of publishing his newspaper by saying: “A newspaper in all its roles does not have a list unless it is based on two great things, money and material. The money that we spent on this project is a great danger that it will be wasted as long as we believe that in the souls there is Arab comfort and a tendency and love for literature, science and virtue (Ahmed and Abdul Karim,2005.) After that, the publication of the fine press continued, passing through Al-Tawhid magazine, which was issued at the beginning of 1946 for its owner and editor-in-chief Mr. Hadi Kamal Al-Din 3) , who was not far from the idea of establishing a magazine that would take upon itself to shed light on the events that the whole world was going through at the time, especially the international changes that the world witnessed after the end of World War II (1939-1945) (Bassam Al-Asali,1988.) Although the relationship of the press with power, It is the most important link in the chain of relations that govern the press with the rest of the influential parties in its discourse, but Al-Tawhid magazine was not in that framework except in a few times, required by the current political situation at the time (Gad Taha,1990.). The first issue contained an article by His Eminence Sheikh Abd al-Karim al-Zanjani (Jaafar Al-Khalili,1946.) that singled out the magazine on the occasion of the publication of the first issue. This article occupied two pages of the magazine - half of the first page and all of the second page and half of the third page. The basis of the unification of the beings and creatures of God, the Blessed and Exalted, then he went back after that to the vision of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) in the issue of monotheism, explaining his most important sayings (peace be upon him) in that, then came on the third page of the magazine the speech of the Mutasarrif of the Hilla Brigade Amin Khalis) (Hussein Ali Mahfouz,1998.) On the occasion of the visit of the guardian, Abd al-Ilah bin Sharif Hussein to the Hilla Brigade. Al- Din, in his comment on the sermon, said: “A valuable word for His Excellency, the resolute and skilled legal administrator, Mr. Amin Khalis, the general administrator. His Excellency said it at the honoring ceremony for His Highness, the Great Crown Prince, Prince Abdullah....” As for the sixth 2319 © RIGEO ● Review of International Geographical Education 11(5), SPRING, 2021 and seventh pages of the magazine, they were devoted to the poem It was organized and delivered by Mr. Hadi Kamal al-Din on the occasion of the visit of the guardian Abd al-Ilah to the Mutasarrifiya of the Hilla Brigade. Hadi Kamal El-Din, delivered at the honoring party held by the Directorate of Hilla Municipality in the Royal Hospital Building (Tariq al-Nasiri, ,1990.) The new one on Sunday, December 6, 1945, following the auspicious preface.” It was signed by the editor-in- chief. On a case in the criminal trial by (Saleh Naji Ibrahim, the lawyer), he mentioned it in minute details regarding a case of theft in one of the villages of the Hilla District. As for the second half of the tenth page, the title of “Triangles” appeared in an article that consisted of eight paragraphs, and what is remarkable is the second and third paragraphs, as it came In the second paragraph, what does it say? “Three raised the head of the Arabs in general and Iraq in particular, and they are His Majesty the late Faisal I (Abbas and Abdul Ghaffar ,1949.) His Majesty the late Ghazi I and His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Abdul-Ilah.” By reading this paragraph we note that Mr. Hadi Kamal al-Din He exaggerated the mention of this paragraph in terms of knowing or not, especially since there are leaders who have emerged on the Arab political and military arena, especially after the end of the Second World War (1939-1945) and even before it, and they had clear imprints on the Arab political map, for example.

  • Abstract Title of Dissertation: NEGOTIATING the PLACE OF
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: NEGOTIATING THE PLACE OF ASSYRIANS IN MODERN IRAQ, 1960–1988 Alda Benjamen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Peter Wien Department of History This dissertation deals with the social, intellectual, cultural, and political history of the Assyrians under changing regimes from the 1960s to the 1980s. It examines the place of Assyrians in relation to a state that was increasing in strength and influence, and locates their interactions within socio-political movements that were generally associated with the Iraqi opposition. It analyzes the ways in which Assyrians contextualized themselves in their society and negotiated for social, cultural, and political rights both from the state and from the movements with which they were affiliated. Assyrians began migrating to urban Iraqi centers in the second half of the twentieth century, and in the process became more integrated into their societies. But their native towns and villages in northern Iraq continued to occupy an important place in their communal identity, while interactions between rural and urban Assyrians were ongoing. Although substantially integrated in Iraqi society, Assyrians continued to retain aspects of the transnational character of their community. Transnational interactions between Iraqi Assyrians and Assyrians in neighboring countries and the diaspora are therefore another important phenomenon examined in this dissertation. Finally, the role of Assyrian women in these movements, and their portrayal by intellectuals,
