A unique collection that provides insights into economic, political, and social aspects of contemporary Iran.
The works gathered here are based on recent intensive fieldwork in Iran by leading scholars of Iranian culture. The contributors cover a multitude of important topics such as civil society, foreign relations, Islamism, religious-secular debates, and women’s issues. These essays challenge stereotypes that have developed about modern-day Iran and will stimulate debate and discussion among scholars and students of the Middle East.
Eric Hooglund is editor of Critique: Critical Middle Eastern Studies. He is the coeditor of The Iranian Revolution and the Islamic Republic, also published by Syracuse University Press.
