Biographical Note

Born in Baghdad, Kanan Makiya left Iraq to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and later returned to join Makiya Associates to design and build projects in the Middle East. In 1981, he left the architecture field and began to write a book about Iraq. Republic of Fear: The Politics of Modern Iraq (1989) became a best-seller after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Makiya's second book, The Monument (1991) is an essay on the aesthetics of power and kitsch. Both Republic of Fear and The Monument were written under the pseudonym Samir al-Khalil. His next book, Cruelty and Silence: War, Tyranny, Uprising and the Arab World (1993), was published under Makiya's own name.
In 2000 Makiya published The Rock: A Tale of Seventh-Century Jerusalem, a work of historical fiction that tells the story of the building of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Along with these books, Makiya has written for The Independent, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement and The Times. Makiya has also published on the architecture of Mohamed Makiya, Post-Islamic Classicism: An Essay on the Architecture of Mohamed Makiya.
Makiya has been profiled in many books and publications including The New Yorker (January 6, 1992) and The New York Times Magazine (October 7, 2007). He has collaborated on several films for television, the most known of which exposed for the first time the 1988 campaign of genocide in northern Iraq known as the Anfal. The film, originally aired in January 1992 on the BBC, was aired by Frontline in the U.S. under the title "Saddam's Killing Fields," and received the Edward R. Morrow Award For Best Television Documentary on Foreign Affairs for 1992. Makiya's books are available in many languages, including Arabic, French, Turkish and Spanish.
In 2003 Makiya founded the Iraq Memory Foundation, a NGO based in Baghdad and the US dedicated to issues of remembrance, violence, and identity formation. The Iraq Memory Foundation has collected and digitized nearly 10 million pages of Ba'th era documents and has been supported by both the Iraqi and US governments as well as many foundations. Makiya also continues to write, working on a historical fiction book set in Iraq between 2003 and 2006, titled The Rope.
