Media Reviews
This collection of articles aims at the complicated character of the Iranian identity and provides interesting case studies for it. Lucid in both arguments and expositions this volume will be essential reading for anyone engaged in the study of Iran. -- Uzi Rabi, Tel Aviv University
In this volume, the editor has assembled an interesting cast of novel insights on the complex, challenging, and interesting subject of identity in Iran, through the prisms of politics, culture, and religion. The combination of seasoned and junior Israeli and Iranian scholars discussing questions such as national/Iranian versus ultra-national/Islamic identities and analyzing the links between identity and issues such as Iran's nuclear program, the social media, and even sexuality and beauty all make this collection quite intriguing. -- Soli Shahvar, University of Haifa
A thorough, provoking, and challenging collection of chapters and a valuable contribution to the field. -- Ali Ansari, University of St. Andrews
