Chaldeans (pronounced Kal-dean) are a distinct ethnic group from present-day Iraq with roots stretching back to Abraham, the biblical patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam who was from the Ur of the Chaldees. Chaldeans are Catholic, with their own patriarch, and they speak a dialect of Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ. Chaldeans began immigrating to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, when Iraq was known as Mesopotamia (the Greek word meaning land between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates). Lured by Henry Fords promise of $5 per day, many Chaldeans went to work in Detroits automotive factories. They soon followed their entrepreneurial instincts to open their own businesses, typically grocery markets and corner stores. Religious persecution has caused tens of thousands of Chaldeans to relocate to Michigan. Today, the Greater Detroit area has the largest concentration of Chaldeans outside of Iraq: 150,000 people.

Modern Chaldeans are an Aramaic speaking Catholic Syriac community from northern Iraq, not to be confused with the ancient Mesopotamian civilization of the same name. First identified as 'Chaldean' by the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century, this misnomer persisted, developing into a distinctive and unique identity. In modern times, the demands of assimilation in the US, together with increased hostility and sectarian violence in Iraq, gave rise to a complex and transnational identity. Faced with Islamophobia in the US, Chaldeans were at pains to emphasize a Christian identity, and appropriated the ancient, pre-Islamic history of their namesake as a means of distinction between them and other immigrants from Arab lands. In this, the first ethnographic history of the modern Chaldeans, Yasmeen Hanoosh explores these ancient-modern inflections in contemporary Chaldean identity discourses, the use of history as a collective commodity for developing and sustaining a positive community image in the present, and the use of language revival and monumental symbolism to reclaim association with Christian and pre-Christian traditions.

This volume presents a depiction of the Aramaic tribes of Mesopotamia; it explores the ancient and modern periods, the civil and religious influences, and the pagan and Christian heritage. For the past five centuries, the name Chaldean has been applied to Aramaic speaking people of Mesopotamia, and was the last term used to indicate Mesopotamian identity. The author was inspired by the presence of over a hundred thousand Chaldeans in the United States to produce this reference. He cites books and articles that deal with the history and culture, ancient and modern periods, the civil and religious influences, and the pagan and Christian heritage. The unannotated entries are arranged first by ancient and modern periods, then by form -- such as English books and non-English journal articles.

Chaldean Americans in Detroit, Michigan, a growing community of Roman Catholic immigrants from Iraq, are the focus of this study. A description is given of the Detroit Chaldean community centers around three key institutions, namely the church, the family, and the ethnic occupation or community economic enterprise, and of how these institutions have been affected by the migration experience and by contact with the new culture. An analysis of the social setting of migration examines religious and economic determinants of migration to America, migration effects on the Detroit community, and Chaldeans' relationships with other social groups in Detroit. An exploration of Chaldeans' adaptation to their new setting considers assimilation and acculturation processes, changes in social structure and values, creation of a balance between old country patterns and new practices, and the development of an ethnic identity and a sense of nationalism. Ethnic conflicts and accommodation processes that arise from efforts to achieve the balance between old and new are explored, and it is suggested that family and friendship ties will offset the divisive effects of conflict and American liberalism and keep the Chaldean community from disintegrating. Finally, an exploration of the future direction of American ethnicity points to the need for unity in a culturally diverse society. (Author/MJL)

The book includes one hundred eleven poetry quartets written with inspiration dictated by multiple circumstantial events, including what is related to the Chaldean issue and its merits and what deals with the Chaldean ecclesiastical reality and its dimensions affecting the parish. Twenty-one quartets express the feelings of the Chaldeans towards each other and towards certain factors that determine their fate. Thirty-three quartets touch on a few decisions of the Chaldean Church and the behavior of the spiritual leaders, which inflicted a negative impact on the feelings of parishioners in general. Fifteen quartets highlight the weight of the city of Babylon in Mesopotamian Christian history and the reaction of the educated and conscious elite of the Chaldeans towards the decision of the Chaldean Ecclesiastical leadership. This decision marginalized the Babylonian symbol that has accompanied the Chaldean Church since its foundation. Nine quartets ridicule the officials of the International Chaldean League for their negative attitude towards the marginalization of the entity of Babylon by the Chaldean clergy. Seven quartets affirm that the term “caliphate” has an Islamic connotation that does not accept any doubt or controversy, both linguistically and historically. Eleven quartets refer to the electoral farce in which the Christians of Iraq are competing for only five seats. Ten quartets declare that many clergies do not respond to the queries of the Chaldean people and criticize the contempt of some of the Chaldeans and their mockery of the academic achievement or the cultural output of their peers. The last five quartets conclude that what is mentioned is not meant to be a matter of reproach or defamation but rather for reform and renewal. Selected passages from the quartets inspired eight fine artists. Their magic fingers created twenty-five sketches that add to the totality of the poetic quartets a splendid luster and distinct beauty.

This book provides a modern historical study of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Iraq from 2003 to 2013, against a background analysis of the origins and ecclesiological development of the Chaldean community from the sixteenth century onwards. The book offers an insight into the formation of Chaldean ecclesiological identity and organisation in the context of the Chaldeans as a community originating from the ecclesial traditions of the Church of the East and as an Eastern Catholic Church in union with the Holy See. The book argues for the gradual and consistent development of a Chaldean identity grounded and incarnated in the Mesopotamian-Iraqi environment, yet open to engaging with cultures throughout the Middle East and West Asia and, especially since 2003, to Europe, North America and Australasia. It also examines the effects of religious and administrative policies of the governors of Mesopotamia-Iraq on the Chaldeans, from their formation in the sixteenth century until the installation of the new Chaldean patriarch, Louis Raphael I Sako, in March 2013. Furthermore, the book provides a unique analysis of the history of Iraq, by placing the Chaldeans fully into that narrative for the first time. Providing a thorough overview of the history of the Chaldeans and an in-depth assessment of how the 2003 invasion has affected them, this book will be a key resource for students and scholars of Middle East Studies, Modern History, History of Christianity, as well as for anyone seeking to understand the modern status of Christians in Iraq and the wider Middle East.

I consider myself well-read and knowledgeable. And much of the data Brother John Brinson publishes is known to me. But I must admit that until reading this magnum opus, I had never put the pieces of the puzzle together so it made sense to me. Brother Brinson combed through the evidence that had been hiding in plain sight. I highly recommend this book without reservation to anyone interested in the ancient, so-called Middle East.
