This book interrogates the racist construction of Arya/Aria and
Aryanism in an Iranian context, arguing that a racialized
interpretation of these concepts has given the Indo-European
speaking Persian ethnic group an advantage over Iran's non-Persian
nationalities and communities. Based on multidisciplinary research
drawing on history, sociology, literature, politics, anthropology
and cultural studies, Alireza Asgharzadeh critiques the privileged
place of Farsi and the Persian ethnic group in contemporary Iran.
The book highlights difference and diversity as major
socio-political issues that will determine the future course of
social, cultural, and political developments in Iran. Pointing to
the increasing inadequacy of Islamic fundamentalism in functioning
as a grand narrative, Asgharzadeh explores the racist approach of
the current Islamic government to issues of difference and
diversity in the country, and shows how these issues are
challenging the very existence of the Islamic regime in Iran.
