Illuminates hitherto-understudied aspects of Iran’s socio-political and socio-cultural history

• Analyses the political, social, and cultural history of Iran
• Includes chapters by leading academics from three continents
• Covers neglected topics such as the activities of the communist party during the prime ministership of Mohammad Mosaddeq, the role of Armenians in Iran’s socio-cultural development, and urban history outside Tehran

This collection of original chapters in honour of the distinguished historian Ervand Abrahamian addresses hitherto understudied topics in Iranian political, social, and cultural history from the early twentieth century to the present. The sixteen chapters fall into five categories – all areas of study to which Ervand Abrahamian made a significant contribution – which proceed from the global to the local: Part I looks at Iran’s place in international politics in the early twentieth century; Part II considers key transitional periods in Iranian history; Part III focuses on national politics; Part IV examines intellectual history embedded in political change; and Part V explores social history, with an emphasis on cities. The book also includes an original interview with Ervand Abrahamian and a complete bibliography of Ervand Abrahamian’s works.
