Iran From Crown To Turbans by Gail Rose Thompson Pdf

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to expand its diplomatic and financial ties while the majority of its citizens are tired of its cruel autocratic rule that has no care for its citizenry. Gail Rose Thompson who lived there in the 1970s during the reign of Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi working for the Imperial Court as the Shah's horse trainer, has many stories about life during those "Golden Years". She visited Iran in 2017 after an absence of forty years, as the first ex-employee of the Shah to return and met up with old friends as well as making new acquaintances. She found life in the Turban's twenty-first century very similar to life as it had been when she was living there under the Shah's Crown. The book paints a colorful picture of a beautiful historic country that dates to the 4th millennium BCE, when the Persian Empire was the most powerful kingdom in the world. The Iranian people are proud of their heritage, polite, hospitable and extremely family oriented. During the past five years through research and frequent conversations by telephone and internet Apps she has followed the happenings in the country which have not been covered well by the discriminatory media of the West. Iran from Crown to Turbans, Revised Edition is a fascinating book that will enlighten the reader about a country that has been ignored and misrepresented.

The Turban for the Crown by Said Amir Arjomand Pdf

This comprehensive history of the Iranian Revolution views it in the context of an ongoing conflict between religious and political authorities dating back to the establishment of Shi'ism as the state religion of Iran in 1501. The historical context is seen as being critical in understanding the staying power of Khomeini's regime and its ruthless elimination of internal opposition to the Islamic Republic. The significance of the appearance of widespread popular discontent, the ideological differences among the ruling clergy, and the issue of Khomeini's succession are also considered, and the book concludes with a comparison between the Iranian Revolution and other famous historical revolutions.

Green Ribbons and Turbans by Armin Arefi Pdf

During the last presidential election in Iran, nonviolent protestors defied the mullahs’ power by wearing green ribbons on their wrists. In June of 2009, the inhabitants of Tehran were living underground to escape the government’s authority, strangled by interdictions, dreaming of freedom and revolution. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of the Islamic Republic of Iran and desperate to maintain his power, defeated his opponent, Mahmoud Mousavi, by massive electoral fraud. The resulting frustration and anger throughout the country sparked a gigantic wave of opposition. The Green Movement was born. In this timely, politically relevant, and unique account of life in Iran, Arefi takes us to a world removed from the usual cultural and political clichés about Iran and lets us hear the voices of a new generation of Iranians, who have never known anything but religious dictatorship and repression. He also tells the stories of the first victims of repression—Neda, Sohrab, and Taraneh.

The Iranian Revolution Then And Now by Dariush Zahedi Pdf

In The Iranian Revolution Then and Now , Dariush Zahedi assesses the Islamic Republic's potential for revolution through an in-depth, theoretically informed, comparative analysis of the present with 1979 pre-Revolutionary Iran. Zahedi discusses how the potential for a revolutionary coup is based on two things: the inherent defects and vulnerabilities in the regime and the coordinated actions of the social groups and individuals opposed to the regime. He also identifies two ideal-typical forms of revolutionary change. }In The Iranian Revolution Then and Now , Dariush Zahedi assesses the Islamic Republic's potential for revolution through an in-depth, theoretically informed, comparative analysis of the present with 1979 pre-Revolutionary Iran.

Words, Not Swords by Farzaneh Milani Pdf

A woman not only needs a room of her own, as Virginia Woolf wrote, but also the freedom to leave it and return to it at will; for a room without that right becomes a prison cell. The privilege of self-directed movement, the power to pick up and go as one pleases, has not been a traditional "right" of Iranian women. This prerogative has been denied them in the name of piety, anatomy, chastity, class, safety, and even beauty. It is only during the last 160 years that the spell has been broken and Iranian women have emerged as a moderating, modernizing force. Women writers have been at the forefront of this desegregating movement and renegotiation of boundaries. Words, Not Swords explores the legacy of sex segregation and its manifestations in Iranian literature and film and in notions of beauty and the erotics of passivity. Milani expands her argument beyond Iranian culture, arguing that freedom of movement is a theme that crosses frontiers and dissolves conventional distinctions of geography, history, and religion. She makes bold connections between veiling and foot binding, between Cinderella and Barbie, between the figures of the female Gypsy and the witch. In so doing, she challenges cultural hierarchies that divert attention from key issues in the control of women across the globe.
