A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This is a sharp, judicious, caring, and competent scholar activist who has consistently crossed borders to carve new territories of perception and responsibility.' --Hamid Dabash, Columbia University, New York

'As the crisis between Iran and the USA intensifies, Elaheh Rostami Povey's new book makes essential reading. Its vivid accounts of the Islamic republic's relations with key countries across the Middle East offers us the chance to understand the region in a new way. In contrast to the crude caricatures in the Western media, Rostami Povey shows us, in all it complex reality, how the people of Iran and the Arab world themselves understand and make sense of their own situation.' --Dr Stephanie Cronin, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Oxford

'Elaheh Rostami-Povey's well researched and powerfully argued study is an insightful exploration of sensitive issues - ones that we usually only encounter in media sound bites. This work challenges much of the current discourse on the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Western media. It places evolving Iranian foreign and regional policies since 1979 in their proper historical and intellectual context. It combines new scholarship on the popular perception in the Arab street of Iran's foreign policies with an engaging style and makes an important contribution to our knowledge on regional dimensions of the Palestine-Israel conflict.' --Professor Nur Masalha
