520 _aCovers the history of the diverse societies and economies of Iran against the background of dynastic changes, revolutions, civil wars, foreign occupation, and the rise of the Islamic Republic. Amanat combines chronological and thematic approaches, exploring events with lasting implications for modern Iran and the world. Drawing on diverse historical scholarship and emphasizing the twentieth century, he addresses debates about Iran's culture and society. Political history is the driving narrative force, given impetus by Amanat's decades of research and teaching. He layers the book with discussions of literature, music, and the arts; ideology and religion; and economy and society, as well as the politics of identity and the legacy of Iran's long history. --From publisher description.
