Abstract "When the Iraqi state collapsed in 2003, why were individuals in some localities able to work together to produce order amid anarchy? This book argues that Iraqis turned to the mosque because it had an unparalleled ability to communicate in ways that helped them coordinate their activities with others"-- Provided by publisher.
