Description: Based on the premise that nationalism is a dominant factor in Iranian identity politics despite the significant changes brought about by the Islamic Revolution, this cross-disciplinary work investigates the languages of nationalism in contemporary Iran through the prism of the minority issue. This is particularly evident among intellectuals and state representatives concerned with how to tackle the mounting ethnic mobilization among minorities today. Through a close and contextualized reading of a unique and broad-ranging material in Persian, this book shows how the minority issue is crucial to the future of Iran.
