The emergence of Iranian nationalism : race and the politics of dislocation /

Reza Zia-Ebrahimi revisits the work of two intellectuals who founded modern Iranian nationalism. These thinkers cast pre-Islamic Iran as a golden age, radicalized Islam as an alien religion, and portrayed Arabs as implacable others, ultimately tying Iran to Europe and the Aryan race.
