| Summary/Abstract |
This article focuses on a Gypsy group that lives in Iraq, away from the main concentrations in Europe. Although Gypsies apparently arrived in Mesopotamia around the tenth century, long before many Arab tribes and despite their cultural assimilation into the local culture, Gypsies were not assimilated into the local society, partly because the local society rejected them and partly because they did not want to assimilate. The difference in the attitude of the local society to the Gypsies lies in their perceived 'impurity' and their occupation, dancing and music, in which Gypsy women are employed. Iraqi Gypsies had long suffered from social as well as governmental discrimination: Iraqi citizenship was given to them only in 1979. Unexpectedly, it was the Iraqi dictatorship of Saddam Hussein which improved their status considerably, yet, at the same time, made them dependent on the regime. Consequently, after the fall of the Ba`th regime, Gypsies now face a bleak future. The article gives a concise historical presentation of Gypsy life in twentieth century Iraq and takes a closer look at literary views of the Gypsies, reflecting the limits of liberal attitudes toward them.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on extensive archival researc-h with newly available Iraqi state and Ba'th Party doctmzents, this article attempts to shed light on the Saddam. Husayn regime '3 relationship with lslamists and lslamism, arguing that it ir1strumenta.lizecl Islam in its foreign policy to an unprecedented extent, but not out of ideological conviction. This article, therefore, clari?es an important issue in the historiography of Saddam 's Iraq and suggests that religion can play a concrete role in international relations.
