English book ‘Representing Post-Revolutionary Iran’ to be unveiled
The English book, ‘Representing Post-Revolutionary Iran,’ by Hossein Nazari, a member of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature at the University of Tehran, will be unveiled during a ceremony on Tuesday.
The ceremony will be held in the presence of professors and experts in the field of sociology and foreign languages and literature at the National Library and Archives of Iran, ILNA reported.
The event will be attended by Zeinab Qassemi (member of the faculty of North American Studies at the University of Tehran), Asemeh Qassemi (member of the faculty of Sociology at the University of Tehran), and Hossein Nazari (author of the book).
Professor John Carlos Rowe (expert in English literature at the University of Southern California) commented on this work, stating, “This book is a critical narrative by Hossein Nazari, examining three collections of memoirs by Iranian-American women, making it an important study in neo-Orientalism and its negative implications for geopolitics, feminism, and comparative religious studies. As long as we use Islamic cultures for Western purposes, a common understanding will not be achieved. Although this book is an intelligent literary critique, it serves as an essential lesson in political wisdom.”
