Sussan Siavoshi. Montazeri
Sussan Siavoshi’s Montazeri: The Life and Thought of Iran’s Revolutionary Ayatollah is organized into two parts: “The Life,” a chronicle of the life of Ayatollah Hossein Ali Monzateri (1922–2009) in four chapters, and “The Thought,” the substance of which is two chapters revised from previously published articles in the Journal of South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and the Journal of Muslim People (both in 2016). The source material for Siavo…
Gender, Madness, Religion, and Iranian-American Identity
Using participant observation, oral history interviews, and a study of court transcripts, Internet chats, and press coverage of a 2006 murder trial of an Iranian-American man in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, we can better appreciate the dynamic intersection of ethnicity, religion, and gender in constructing the social identity of Iranian-Americans. Brian Hosayn Yasipour, who immigrated to the United States in 1969, was convicted of murder in the th…
Anti-veiling campaigns in the Muslim world
Edited and introduced by the indefatigable Stephanie Cronin, this is a timely and welcome collection. While it is not quite as comprehensive or comparative as the title suggests, the collection con
Science” and Literary Soundscapes, Neuroscience and Oral History
We have no shortage of texts to recover representations of sound. There is also an underutilized, renewable—yet, if not recorded, ephemeral—source that can help us recover the sounds of the vanishing past: oral history. The discovery of soundways and historically contextualized soundscapes is a compelling project on its own. By “soundways,” I mean the “paths, trajectories, transformations, mediations, practices, and techniques—in short, the way—t…
The Press and Public Diplomacy in Iran, 1820–1940
The under-appreciated role of the press as a tool of public diplomacy was rooted in its origins as a Qajar state project in the nineteenth century, but also cultivated by a shared impulse of Iranian journalists and statesmen to represent Iran effectively in the court of world opinion. Moreover, foreign governments often reacted to the Iranian press generally, not just the official newspapers and not just newspapers produced in Iran, as a forum th…
Rethinking Iranian Nationalism and Modernity
While recent books have explored Arab and Turkish nationalism, the nuances of Iran have received scant book-length study - until now. Capturing the significant changes in approach that have shaped this specialization, Rethinking Iranian Nationalism and Modernity shares innovative research and charts new areas of analysis from an array of scholars in the field. Delving into a wide range of theoretical and conceptual perspectives, the essays - all …
Globalizing Iranian Feminism, 1910–1950
The author examines how the Women’s Party (Hizb-i Zanan) used globalization to signal its departure from the tendency of women’s organizations to prioritize national goals over feminist goals in Iran. In explicitly holding the Iranian government to emerging international standards of equal rights feminism, the Women’s Party contributed to an enduring aspect of Iranian culture in which national conversations imagine a global audience. The thesis r…

Selling and Saving “Mother Iran”
The sensational nature of the Iranian press in the 1940s has been largely understood in political terms. In September 1941, occupying Allied armies forced Reza Shah Pahlavi (1879–1944, r. 1925–41) into exile, ending his tyrannical “twenty years” and unleashing a variety of political forces which vied with each other for public support in the press. 3 The presence of Allied censors notwithstanding, so the argument goes, the Iranian press was momen…
Propaganda and Remembrance
In The Spring Of 1997, I Attended a Memorial Dinner for My Aunt, Dr. Na‘imeh Amin. There, one of her friends from medical school, Dr. Maryam Tusi, shared pictures of herself and my aunt from their medical school days. In 1946, they had been among the first women students admitted to the University of Tehran Medical School directly from Iranian high schools. I was fascinated by what I thought I saw in three of the pictures. One showed ten young wo…
