Asgharzadeh, Alireza.

Iran and the challenge of diversityIslamic fundamentalism, Aryanist racism, and democratic struggles /[electronic resource] :Alireza Asgharzadeh. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xiv, 249 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [219]-243) and index.

Introduction : establishing the boundaries -- The journey between theory and practice : text,context, and language -- Planting the seeds of racism : diversity and the problematic of orientalisthistoriography -- The flourishing of racist ideology : from Pahlavi monarchism to the Islamic republic -- Reinforcing racism : the dominant discourse and praxis -- Resisting racism : the counterhegemonic discourse and praxis -- Conclusions : politics of assimilation and the challenge of diversity.

This book interrogates the racist construction of Arya/Aria and Aryanism in an Iranian context, arguing that a racialized interpretation ofthese concepts has given the Indo-European speaking Persian ethnic group an advantage over Iran?s non-Persian nationalities and communities. Based on multidisciplinary research drawing on history, sociology, literature, politics, anthropology and cultural studies, Alireza Asgharzadeh critiques the privileged place of Farsi and the Persian ethnic group in contemporary Iran. The book highlights difference and diversity as major socio-political issues that will determine the future course of social, cultural, and political developments in Iran. Pointing to the increasing inadequacy of Islamic fundamentalism in functioning as a grand narrative, Asgharzadeh explores the racist approach of the current Islamic government to issues of difference and diversity in the country, and shows how these issues are challenging the very existence of the Islamicregime in Iran.
