No country in the Islamic Middle East presents as unique and
distinguished a history and culture as Iran, which has managed to
maintain its inherent characteristics - some of them from
pre-Islamic times - over the course of centuries of changing
dynasties and rulers. The Shiite faith, the official religion of
Persia/Iran since 1501, stands in contrast to the Sunni Arabs who
dominate the greater region. Iran endured European colonialism in
the 20th century to a greater extent than any other Middle Eastern
country, yet after the revolution of 1979, which made Iran the
first Islamic Republic, Shiism and Persian culture remain intact.
Monika Gronke presents the history of this country from the
Islamization of the 7th century to the present in a clear and
lively style, and describes the cultural, social, and religious
developments that shaped Iran and the Iranian self-image.
