The transition from Qajar rule in Iran (c.1789-1925) to that of
rule by the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979) set in motion a number of
shifts in the political, social, and cultural realms. Focusing on
masculinity in Iran, this book interweaves ideas and perceptions,
laws, political movements, and men's practices to spotlight the
role men as gendered subjects played in Iranian history. It shows
how men under the reign of Reza Shah dressed, acted, spoke, and
thought differently from their late Qajar period counterparts.
Furthermore, it highlights how the notion of being a "proper
Iranian man" changed over these decades. Demonstrating how an
emerging elite of western-educated men constructed and promoted a
new model of masculinity as part of their struggle for political,
social, and cultural hegemony, Balslev shows how this new model
reflects wider developments in Iranian society at the time
including the rise of Iranian nationalism and the country's
modernisation process.
