Since Iran's 1979 Revolution, the imperative to create and protect
the inner purity of family and nation in the face of outside
spiritual corruption has been a driving force in national politics.
Through extensive fieldwork, Rose Wellman examines how Basiji
families, as members of Iran's voluntary paramilitary organization,
are encountering, enacting, and challenging this imperative. Her
ethnography reveals how families and state elites are employing
blood, food, and prayer in commemorations for martyrs in Islamic
national rituals to create citizens who embody familial piety,
purity, and closeness to God. Feeding Iran provides a rare and
humanistic account of religion and family life in the
post-revolutionary Islamic Republic that examines how home life and
everyday piety are linked to state power.
