Description
In this book, Camron Amin provides a rich yet concise portrait of Iranian society through the lens of globalization. How is economic and cultural globalization affecting Iranians? How are the nation's two chief natural resources, militant Islam and oil, tied into larger supraregional economic and political currents? To answer this, Amin, a historian, traces the broad outlines of Iranian history, focusing in particular on Shi'ism and nationalism, the dominant faith there. Shi'ism sets it apart from surrounding Sunni regimes, and its nationalism has certainly been a potent global force for decades. He also contrasts Iran's intense nationalism with its substantial ethnic diversity.
