Iran today an encyclopedia of life in the Islamic Republic

Iran dominates the media headlines once again and has taken center stage in the U.S. and European Union strategy toward the Middle East. A more nuanced understanding of Iranian society has assumed even greater significance and urgency. Iran Today: An Encyclopedia of Life in the Islamic Republic offers crucial insight for students and the general reader into an often misunderstood and complex country that is shrouded in mystery and misperception. Heir to a long history and a great culture and civilization, Iran embodies a rich, complex, and diverse mosaic that defines its national identity. Div.

  • "Scholars of political and other social sciences, many of them Iranians at US universities, explore aspects of daily life in Iran since the 1978-79 revolution that overthrew the US-installed dictator. The articles, with bylines and suggestions for further reading, look at people, industries, arts, politics, the economy, and other matters. Among specific topics are armed and security forces, Nobel Laureate law scholar Shirin Ebadi, Ruhollah Khomeini, the petroleum industry, relations with the Arab world, Islamic socialism, tribes, and the status of women. The two volumes are paged and indexed together. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)."
