Synopsis

<p>Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran investigates<br> the ways in which Armenian minorities in Iran encountered Iranian nationalism<br> and participated in its development over the course of the twentieth<br> century. Based primarily on oral interviews, archival documents, personal<br> memoirs, memorabilia, and photographs, the book examines the lives of a<br> group of Armenian-Iranians—a truck driver, an army officer, a parliamentary<br> representative, a civil servant, and a scout leader—and explores the<br> personal conflicts and paradoxes attendant upon their layered allegiances<br> and compound identities. In documenting individual experiences in Iranian<br> industry, military, government, education, and community organization,<br> the five social biographies detail the various roles of elites and non-elites<br> in the development of Iranian nationalism and reveal the multiple forces<br> that shape the processes of identity formation. Yaghoubian combines these<br> portraits with theories of nationalism and national identity to answer recurring<br> pivotal questions about how nationalism evolves, why it is appealing,<br> what broad forces and daily activities shape and sustain it, and the role of<br> ethnicity in its development.</p>
