The Quandary of the Identity Debate
Concepts of identity, identity formation, identity politics, and collective identity, despite being vague, are among the most used notions in social theory, historical analysis, and everyday life and politics. In the last four or five decades “identity” has become a catchword that could explain almost any political or cultural development. In this paper, I discuss existential and social dimensions of identity and identity formation, decode the re…
Mateo Mohammad Farzaneh. The Iranian Constitutional Revolution and the Clerical Leadership of Khurasani
Recently, the life and political views of Akhund Mullah Mohammad Kazim Khurasani (1839–1911) have been the subject of much scholarly interest, particularly in Iran. This has been prompted both by the publication of a number of Khurasani’s previously unknown political writings and by the political need for reassessing the role of Shiʾa state theory in Iran.

Introduction to a 1995 Conversation with Eric Hobsbawm
Eric Hobsbawm, who died on October 1, 2012, was one of a handful of extraordinary labor historians who emerged from the British Communist Party Historians' Group in the 1940s and 1950s. Today he is widely acknowledged as one of the great historians of our era. His influence is truly international. For a long time, a significant limitation on the extent of his renown was the USSR where, during the era of “actually-existing socialism,” his works we…
Rethinking the Role of Religion in Iran's History and Politics, 1796–2009
Two basic related arguments have informed and shaped much of the scholarly discourse and public consciousness of recent Iranian history. The first is that Shiism is an integral part of the Iranian religious and cultural landscape. The second is that the ulema have played a crucial role in the Iranian political structure despite their internal theological differences and political divisions. I challenge these assumptions and propose a different li…
