Behrooz Moazami. State, Religion, and Revolution in Iran, 1796 to the Present
In this book, Behrooz Moazami interrogates two truisms about modern Iranian history: one, that Shiʾism has always been an “integral part of the Iranian religious and cultural landscape,” and the other, that clerics “have always played a crucial role” in Iranian politics. Moazami offers a new take on modern Iranian history to portray “state formation and the institutionalization of religion as two distinct but interrelated historical processes” (p…
History, Self, and Other in Afsharid Iran and Mughal India
An important event in the early modern history of india was Nadir Shah's conquest, culminating in the battle of Karnal and the sack of Delhi in the spring of 1739.

Historians of India have viewed this …

Explaining Nadir Shah
One of the most important contemporary Persian prose chronicles of Nadir Shah's life is the Tārīkh-i ‘ālam-ārā-yi Nādirī (The World-Illuminating History of Nadir).

Completed after Nadir's death in 1160/1747 but before the last Afsharid ruler fell in 1210/1796, the AAN offers one of the most detailed contemporary…
