Censorship pervades all aspects of political, social and cultural
life in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Faced with strict state
control of cultural output, Iranian authors and writers have had to
adapt their work to avoid falling foul of the censors. In this
pioneering study, Alireza Abiz offers an in-depth,
interdisciplinary analysis of how censorship and the political
order of Iran have influenced contemporary Persian literature, both
in terms of content and tone. As censorship is unrecorded and not
officially acknowledged in Iran, the author has examined newspaper
records and conducted first-hand interviews with Iranian poets and
writers. looking into the ways in which poets and writers attempt
to subvert the codes of censorship by using symbolism and
figurative language to hide their more controversial messages. A
ground-breaking analysis, this book will be vital reading for
anyone interested in contemporary cultural politics and literature
in Iran.
