Beschreibung:
This interrogates the racist construction of Aria and Aryanism in an Iranian context, arguing that these concepts gave the Indo-European speaking Persian ethnic group an advantage over Iran's non-Persian nationalities and communities.
DELVES DEEPER THAN OTHER SCHOLARSHIP: This would stand out from other Middle East literature as a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary study looking at Iran's multi-ethnic factor and minorities from an objective stance. This is a welcome and needed addition on a specific issue with far-reaching repercussions.FASCINATION WITH IRAN: There is a good deal of interest in ethnicity in Iran which will lead to a larger audience.GREAT FUTURE COURSE POTENTIAL: The book's analytical approach and breadth of topics and chronologies make this a good possibility for future FTIP, for courses in sociology, anthropology, Middle East studies, and political science.
Introduction: Establishing the Boundaries The Journey between Theory and Practice: Text, Context, and Language Planting the Seeds of Racism: Diversity and the Problematic of Orientalist Historiography The Flourishing of Racist Ideology: From Pahlavi Monarchism to the Islamic Republic Reinforcing Racism: The Dominant Discourse and Praxis Resisting Racism: The Counter-Hegemonic Discourse and Praxis Conclusions: Politics of Assimilation and the Challenge of Diversity
