Description
Iran: A People Interrupted by Hamid Dabashi is a deeply informed political and cultural narrative that explores the story of Iran over the past two centuries. With unparalleled analysis, Dabashi traces key events, cultural trends, and political developments leading up to the collapse of the reform movement and the emergence of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency. Written in lively and combative prose, this book combines delightful vignettes from Dabashi's childhood with sharp, insightful readings of contemporary history. In an era of escalating tensions in the Middle East, Dabashi's account fills a crucial gap in our understanding of Iran, offering a defiant moral voice and eloquent narrative of a national struggle for freedom and democracy. This book provides a fresh perspective on Iranian studies, praised by leading academics as "extraordinary" and "a brilliant analysis".
