Based on archival and primary sources in Persian, Hebrew,
Judeo-Persian, Arabic, and European languages, "Between Foreigners
and Shi'is" examines the Jews' religious, social, and political
status in nineteenth-century Iran. This book, which focuses on
Nasir al-Din Shah's reign (1848-1896), is the first comprehensive
scholarly attempt to weave all these threads into a single
tapestry. This case study of the Jewish minority illuminates
broader processes pertaining to other religious minorities and
Iranian society in general, and the interaction among intervening
foreigners, the Shi'i majority, and local Jews helps us understand
Iranian dilemmas that have persisted well beyond the second half of
the nineteenth century.
