David S. Painter and Gregory Brew. The Struggle for Iran
David S. Painter and Gregory Brew have done historians a great service by bringing together their collective research into one volume: The Struggle for Iran: Oil, Autocracy, and the Cold War, 1951–1954. During this four-year period, the struggle for Iranian oil—the focus of the book—sparked an international crisis within the context of the early Cold War and the overlapping histories of global capitalism and decolonization. The authors advance a …
“You say you want a revolution …’ in the Middle East?”
Michael Fischbach explores the Arab-Israeli conflict from the perspective of the American Left between the June 1967 war and the early 1980s. In recent years new methodologies and documents have expanded the field’s understanding of U.S.-Palestinian relations. In contrast to titles on foreign policy, Fischbach explains how the “question of Palestine” resonated throughout the American domestic arena.1 While Fischbach has written elsewhere about Bl…
Religious Modernism in Pre-University Schools
The advent of “modern” education in Iran and its acceptance by political and cultural elites dates to the Qajar era. But the elitist nature of state reforms prevented modern education from spreading throughout society until the Pahlavi era.

This research is based on Persian-lang…
Modernity's Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East
Nathan Citino uses the theme of “modernization” to explain U.S.-Middle East relations between 1945 and 1967. He demonstrates how, after the Second World War, modernization became manifest in “not only economic development policies, but also the ideas elites used to explain social change” (1). Those elites, Arab and American, considered the quantitative and qualitative aspects of modernization within the legacy of Ottoman reforms, the prospect of …

Contacts with the opposition”
Iranian students amassed one of the most impressive movements of the 1960s. Through diligent and efficient transnational organizing in the United States and Western Europe, oppositionist students wedded their rejection of the US-supported regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi with a broader, more inclusive internationalism that thrived in the late 1960s. This essay situates the Iranian student movement abroad -- both its challenges to the Washingt…
A Bonebeds Database
This chapter, which presents and reviews a database of 383 citations that refer to more than 1,000 bonebeds, offers additional insight into how bonebeds formed in the past and what they can tell us about the ancient environments within which they formed. Its goals are to: identify, characterize, and document different types of bonebed; identify historical and scientific biases in the treatment of bonebeds; demonstrate the relative frequency of di…
