How do aspects of identities previously marginal to everyday life become crystallized as the basis for sorting out who lives, who dies, and the degree to which diverse coexistence is possible or even desirable? As a result of divide‐and‐rule policies introduced by the United States after 2003, Iraq saw rapid segmentation of its population into three geographic parts: a Sunni west, a Shi'a south, and a Kurdish north. Ethnographic fieldwork with families in and from Anbar demonstrates how sectarian identities were crystalized in the vision of the global war on terror, as certain places and the people from there were tagged with political meaning. In spite of historical oppression of minorities and Shi'a, it was not until the forced repetition of particular policies that the political categorization of people by sect became a social fact among Sunni communities in Anbar Province. Thus, difference became internal to being in subtle ways that demonstrate a more complex picture of what sectarianism actually means in Iraq and beyond.

Tripartheid：宗派主义如何成为伊拉克安巴尔的内在因素

如何将以前在日常生活中处于边缘地位的身份的各个方面具体化为基础，以区分谁生活，谁死亡，以及在何种程度上可能甚至希望实现共存？由于美国在2003年后实行分而治之的政策，伊拉克将其人口迅速分为三个地理区域：逊尼派西部，什叶派南部和库尔德北部。与来自安巴尔的家庭以及来自安巴尔的家庭的人种学实地考察表明，在全球反恐战争的视野中，宗派的身份是如何形成的，因为某些地方和那里的人们都带有政治意义。尽管历史上压迫了少数民族和什叶派，直到被迫重复执行特定政策，按宗派对人的政治分类才成为安巴尔省逊尼派社区的一个社会事实。因此，差异以微妙的方式成为内部的本质，这些方式展现出宗派主义在伊拉克及其他地区实际上意味着什么的更复杂的图景。
