This book examines how socio-political surroundings have affected
the evolution of Yarsani religious thought and why the Yarsani
religious belief, despite its fundamental disagreement with Islamic
tenets, has been affiliated with Islam. It also considers the
historical context and socio-religious milieu in which the Yarsani
belief appropriates religious forces to survive, how Yarsanis
experience their religion in Islamic society, and what differences
are significant in their lived experiences. The author explores how
the experience of worship influences real life for the Yarsanis
from the perspectives of sociology, behaviorism, content analysis,
cultural studies and ethnography in Iran and diaspora with focus on
Sweden. Yarsani followers became known as those who "don't tell
secrets," primarily because they were not allowed to promote and
advertise their religion in public, but recently have started to
reveal their religion, especially in social media. This book
discovers the transformation of this religion, and in particular in
which context an individual can change the content of religion, and
bring about new ideas regarding religion and belief.
This book explores the experiences of the ethnic and religious
minorities of Iran, such as Jews, Yarsani, Christian, Sabean
Mandaean, Bahai, Zoroastrian, Baluch, Kurd, and others and provides
a historical overview of their position in society before and after
the 1979 Islamic revolution and highlights their contribution to
the country's history, diversity, and development. It also focuses
on the historical, sociopolitical, and economic factors that
affected the minorities' development during the last century.
Author Behnaz Hosseini has shaped this book with authentic material
and has assembled the experiences and opinions of academics of
diverse backgrounds who approach the minorities' issues in Iran in
a constructive and ingenious way: from debating their efforts to
preserve their identity and cultural heritage and ensure their
survival to discussing their relations with the majority and other
minorities, the role of religion in everyday life, and their
contribution to the rich cultural history of Iran.
This book sheds light on the cultural traits and religious beliefs
of the Yarsan community. By incorporating historical and
ethnographic research on Yarsan community in west and North of
Iran, fieldwork and meticulous analysis of religious texts and
international literature, it reveals contemporary aspects of Yarsan
culture and life that are lesser known to the wider public, and
provides insights into their lives, traditions and prospects for
the future. With researchers from inside Iran and all over the
world, this book offers a new look at Yarsan.
Based on research in camps in Iraqi Kurdistan and among refugees in
Germany, this book addresses the challenges, strategies and support
systems that exist for the rehabilitation and reintegration of
Yazidi women recovering from human trafficking. Through in-depth
interviews, focus group discussions and case studies, it gives
women trafficked by ISIS their own voice to express their
experiences during captivity, whilst offering an overview of the
forms of support and protection available and necessary for
survivors. An examination of the experiences and needs of refugee
women who have undergone traumatizing experiences, Trauma and the
Rehabilitation of Trafficked Women will appeal to scholars and
policy makers with interests in gender studies, feminist thought,
sexual violence during war, human trafficking and trauma recovery.
Drawing on feminist theory, as well as theory surrounding the
correlation between poverty and suicide, this study explores the
increased rate of suicide among women in western Iran. Based on
empirical research, including interviews with women from the
Kurdish region of the country, the author considers the
marginalisation of Kurdish populations in Iran, the suppression of
their rights, and violence against women in its various forms. With
attention to family violence, such as direct physical or sexual
assault, psychological bullying or through practices such as forced
marriage or honour killings, the author also considers the
political nature of such violence, as certain violent practices are
enshrined in the Iranian constitution and legitimised in
jurisprudential practice. A study of gendered violence and its
effects, Women and Suicide in Iran will be of interest to scholars
working in the fields of Sociology, Criminology and Middle Eastern
Studies with interests in violence, gender and suicide.
