About these texts
Iraq’s texts move from Baghdad’s bakeries and Basra’s date market to the country’s crafts, music and laboratories. Iraqi Samoon Bread is a first text about the small diamond-shaped bread; The Date Market in Basra follows the fresh dates of summer from the palms to the market on Bashar Street; and Pomegranate Molasses Season in Daquq watches families south of Kirkuk make molasses the old way. Later texts take up Iraqi maqam, salt-tolerant wheat and date palms grown in the laboratory.
