A deeply informed political and cultural narrative of a country
thrust into the international spotlight.
Praised by leading academics in the field as "extraordinary," "a
brilliant analysis," "fresh, provocative and iconoclastic," "Iran:
A People Interrupted" has distinguished itself as a major work that
has single-handedly effected a revolution in the field of Iranian
studies.
In this provocative and unprecedented book, Hamid Dabashi--the
internationally renowned cultural critic and scholar of Iranian
history and Islamic culture--traces the story of Iran over the past
two centuries with unparalleled analysis of the key events,
cultural trends, and political developments leading up to the
collapse of the reform movement and the emergence of the new and
combative presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Written in the author's characteristically lively and combative
prose, "Iran" combines "delightful vignettes" ("Publishers Weekly")
from Dabashi's Iranian childhood and sharp, insightful readings of
its contemporary history. In an era of escalating tensions in the
Middle East, his defiant moral voice and eloquent account of a
national struggle for freedom and democracy against the
overwhelming backdrop of U.S. military hegemony fills a crucial gap
in our understanding of this country.
