Description

Product Description From encounters with Western powers in the nineteenth century through to a Constitutional Revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century, and from the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddeq in the 1950s to the current Islamic Republic, Iran's history has rarely been far from tumultuous and dramatic. And the ways in which Iranian society has participated in and reacted to these events have been equally fascinating and revolutionary. Here for the first time in English, Yann Richard offers his take on the social and political history of Iran since 1800. Richard's account traces the common threads of national ideology and violent conflict that have characterised a number of episodes in Iranian history. By also concerning himself with the reactions and feelings of Iranian society, and by referring frequently to Persian sources and commentaries, Richard gives us a unique insight into the challenges encountered by Iranians in modern times. Review 'The book is well written, covers the main events in modern Iranian history up to the present, and will be an important source for scholars and others interested in understanding modern Iran.' G. M. Farr, Choice'[Richard's] passion for the country shines through the chapters of this work. The views expressed are quite trenchant in tone. Within the confines of 300-odd pages, the book is able to provide a broad-sweep explanation of all the major watershed events …' The Commonwealth Lawyer Journal Book Description An introduction to the history of Iran since 1800, covering key events up to the current Islamic Republic. About the Author Yann Richard is Professor Emeritus at the Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle. A specialist of the history of contemporary Iran, Persian literature and the religious sociology of modern Shi'ism, he is the author of a number of books on modern Iran, and is also the co-editor of the 'Iran Studies' book series.
