The first full-length study of Iranian nationalism in nearly five
decades, this sophisticated and challenging book by the
distinguished historian Ali M. Ansari explores the idea of
nationalism in the creation of modern Iran. It does so by
considering the broader developments in national ideologies that
took place following the emergence of the European Enlightenment
and showing how these ideas were adopted by a non-European state.
Ansari charts a course through twentieth-century Iran, analysing
the growth of nationalistic ideas and their impact on the state and
demonstrating the connections between historiographical and
political developments. In so doing, he shows how Iran's different
regimes manipulated ideologies of nationalism and collective
historical memory to suit their own ends. Drawing on hitherto
untapped sources, the book concludes that it was the revolutionary
developments and changes that occurred during the first half of the
twentieth century that paved the way for later radicalisation.
