Writing Revolution as if Women Mattered
Women took part in revolutions and appear in their historical sources with more frequency than our interpretations of revolutions-as-revolutions reflect. Sources are replete with women who both moved through spaces of revolution and shaped these spaces through their movements, spaces without which revolutions as movements of people—and not just production and consumption of ideas—would be impossible. This article argues that writing revolutions a…
Remembering the Palestine Group
The Palestine Group was a loosely connected collection of young anti-Shah activists some of whom were arrested and tried publically in 1970 for the crime of acting against the Pahlavi monarchy and Iran's national security. Their plight became global, receiving support from anticolonial figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre. But while they played an important role in inspiring the revolutionary generation, in the historiography of the 1979 revolution a…
Conclusion
Signs are taken for wonders. “We would see a sign!” —T. S. Eliot, “Gerontion” The question that remains to be answered is, to put it rather bluntly, “so what?” Even assuming the persuasiveness of the arguments made in this book regarding Qajar travel literature to Europe, what broader historical understanding does this interpretive framework provide historians and scholars? Part of the problem with answering this question is that this book is att…

It begins by evaluating the role of travelogues about Europe in Qajar historiography and suggests that a different interpretation of these texts can be reached by questioning the assumption that traveling equalled travel writing, that the genre of travelogues remained constant over the century, and that travel provided the primary site of observing and writing about Europe. Th…
Taken for WonderNineteenth Century Travel Accounts from Iran to Europe
This book focuses on travelogues by Iranians traveling to Europe in the nineteenth century. It argues for an interpretive framework that moves away from an overemphasis on the destinations of travel (particularly in cases where the destination, such as Europe, signifies larger meanings such as modernity) and that historicizes the travelogue itself as a rhetorical text in the service of its origin's concerns and developments. Within this framework…
