Connecting oft-disparate fields, this book explores the Zoroastrian diaspora living in India and its role in using antiquity to bolster twentieth-century Iranian nationalism.
Between roughly 1870 and 1940, Iran's traditional monarchy was forged into a modern nation-state. Marishi explores the changes that made possible this tranformation of Iran into a social abstraction in which notions of state, society, and culture converged. Afshin Marashi is assistant professor history, California State University in Sacramento.
