Editat de Ronen A. Cohen Contribuţii de Moshe-hay S. Hagigat, Farhad Rezaei, Harold Rhode, Ofira Seliktar, Ladan Zarabadi, Raz Zimmt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2019
Identities in Crisis in Iran aims at finding answers to the questions about the puzzling character of the Iranian identity. The contributors acknowledge that identity, especially when it is faced with fundamental tensions as in the case of Iran, is a phenomenon that is constantly developing via factors involving the private self and common social components. This book addresses the tension many Iranian people face that lie between the Persian culture and the Shi'a religion, women versus men, and culture versus traditions.

Recenzii

This collection of articles aims at the complicated character of the Iranian identity and provides interesting case studies for it. Lucid in both arguments and expositions this volume will be essential reading for anyone engaged in the study of Iran.
In this volume, the editor has assembled an interesting cast of novel insights on the complex, challenging, and interesting subject of identity in Iran, through the prisms of politics, culture, and religion. The combination of seasoned and junior Israeli and Iranian scholars discussing questions such as national/Iranian versus ultra-national/Islamic identities and analyzing the links between identity and issues such as Iran's nuclear program, the social media, and even sexuality and beauty all make this collection quite intriguing.
A thorough, provoking, and challenging collection of chapters and a valuable contribution to the field.
