Political Change in the Arab Gulf States: Stuck in Transition
Although reform movements have been prominent in varying degrees in most Middle Eastern countries for some time, the recent cascade of events has generated new pressures for democratization throughout the Arab World. Political Change in the Arab Gulf States explores the politics influencing the volatile situation in the region, as well as specific measures devised by regimes in power to adjust to the challenges of the current environment. The aut…
The Taliban, Women, and the Hegelian Private Sphere
THE society created by the Taliban in Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 constantly evoked outrage and reactions of openmouthed disbelief in the Western press. Even the ayatollahs in Tehran issued a statement condemning the Taliban for defaming Islam by confusing it with medieval obscurantism. Since the Islamic Republic of Iran had long been called “medieval” itself by political opponents, this criticism of the Afghan government has a delicious ir…

Fundamentalism in the Contemporary U.S. Baha'i Community
Race, Immorality and Money in the American Baha'i Community: Impeaching the Los Angeles Spiritual Assembly
This article analyses the dissolution of the Baha'i local assembly of Los Angeles in 1986–88 by the National Assembly. Official explanations for this move focused on lapses in morality and administrative discipline, but local interviewees, as well as some official pronouncements, suggest that the conflict had two roots: the globalisation of the community and resultant ethnic conflict among whites, African–Americans and newly immigrant Iranians; a…

The Indian Subcontinent
The Indian Subcontinent has been One of the Most Prominent Areas of Persian cultural efflorescence. The Parsis, with their Iranian religious heritage, have played an important role in Indian thought and commerce that continues today. Iranian Islam has since medieval times had a powerful influence, competing with Muslim currents from Central Asia and the Arabian subcontinent. From the twelfth through the nineteenth centuries, Persian was the most …

It covers the use of prepublication censorship, other restrictions on free publication, informing, revocation of administrative rights, electoral restrictions, revocation of membership, threats of shunning, and shunning. It asks why the Baha'i leadership might wish to project…

Marking Boundaries, Marking Time: The Iranian Past and the Construction of the Self by Qajar Thinkers
The intellectual model of european nationalism had a powerful impact in the second half the nineteenth century upon Qajar intellectuals and officials, many of whom lived abroad, were fluent in some European language, or were influenced by translations of European works. These thinkers, beginning in the 1850s, were the first to attempt to “imagine” an Iranian nation. That they made this attempt is a result not only of the influence upon them of th…
Power, Knowledge, and Orientalism
These two books by Bernard Lewis and Edward Said both appeared in 1993, and both have to do with the encounter of Europe and the Middle East. But in most other respects they are very different books. Lewis was trained at and long associated with the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies at a time when the British Empire was still in full flourish. A genius at languages and a man of remarkable erudition who crossed the Atla…

Colonialism and Revolution in the Middle East: Social and Cultural Origins of Egypt's `Urabi Movement.
The World as Text: Cosmologies of Shaykh Ahmad al-Ahsa'i
Shaykh Ahmad al-Ahsa'i (1753-1826) est le fondateur de l'ordre mystique Shaykhi. Dans un essai de cosmologie, il developpe les deux symboles du monde-arbre et du monde comme texte. C'est une maniere d'eclairer une parole attribuee au prophete Mahomet et d'enraciner la creation dans la transcendance de Dieu. Shaykh Ahmad s'attache aux contradictions traditionnelles entre nature et culture, corps et âme, stase et changement. Son millenarisme et sa …

Invisible Occidentalism: Eighteenth-Century Indo-Persian Constructions of the West
Kublai Khan does not necessarily believe everything Marco Polo says when he describes the cities visited on his expeditions, but the emperor of the Tartars does continue listening to the young Venetian with greater attention and curiosity than he shows any other messenger or explorer of his. In the lives of emperors there is a moment which follows pride in the boundless extension of the territories we have conquered, and the melancholy and relief…
Shi'Ism and Social Protest
Rival Empires of Trade And Imami Shi'ism in Eastern Arabia, 1300–1800
The history of the Shi'i Muslims in the isles of Bahrain and the oases of Qatif and al-Hasa has been little studied despite the economic and political importance lent them by the large petroleum deposits in their region. The significance of this community has been further magnified by the rise in the Gulf region of Shi'i radicalism, as in the Iranian Revolution of 1978–1979 and the failed 1981 Shi'i coup attempt in Bahrain. The study of Shi'ism i…

Of Crowds and Empires: Afro-Asian Riots and European Expansion, 1857–1882
Comparative studies pose special problems for historians, given their long tradition of being wed to the political history of individual countries and given the limitations of their methods, which lend themselves to (at most) middlerange generalizations. Sociology and anthropology have always seemed better poised to deal with the big questions across cultures. The rise of social history, however, provides new opportunities for comparative studies…

Iranian Millenarianism and Demorcratic Thought in the 19th Century
Between 1905 and 1911, Iranians were engaged in a protracted struggle over whether a constitutionalist regime would replace royal absolutism. 1 Little in Iran's political culture before 1905 had hinted at this conflict before it broke out, and for the past thirty years historians have been seeking this genealogy for it. Most have searched among the papers of officials and diplomats, often examining unpublished or posthumously published manuscript…

Extremist Shiites: The Ghulat Sects
Ideology, Ethics, and Philosophical Discourse in Eighteenth Century Iran
Intellectual biography as a discipline assumes that the life and thought of an individual can shed light on an epoch. In some cases such a claim is justified, especially where the epoch is obscure and the thinker genuinely representative of the culture of a profession in a city or region. I shall argue the validity of this principle with regard to eighteenth century west-central Iran and Mohammad Mehdi Niraqi (d. 1794), a prominent Imami Shi ˓ i …
