Nostalgia in Late Pahlavi Iran
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-57431-0 (ISBN)
Using the prism of nostalgia, this innovative work provides a new dimension to the study of late Pahlavi Iran. Set apart from dominant scholarly discussions of the period concerned solely with the causes of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Nostalgia in Late Pahlavi Iran offers the first study of the expressions and narratives of nostalgia from the state and wider society between 1960 and 1978. Zhand Shakibi offers both fresh understandings of the confrontation of Iranian society with rapid socio-economic, cultural, and moral changes, and the first examination of the state narratives of nostalgia that responded to these shifts. Shakibi draws comparisons with forms of nostalgia in the West, exploring how late Pahlavi Iran reflects global historical patterns during moments of social change. Through close examination of sources ranging across mass media, literature, court proceedings and state policy, Nostalgia in Late Pahlavi Iran provides a new social and political history of this period.
Zhand Shakibi is an Associate of the IDEAS Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a Visiting Professor of Russian Studies at the University of Tehran. His research focuses on modern Iranian history and modern Russian history and politics. Previous publications include Pahlavi Iran and the Politics of Occidentalism (2020), Khatami and Gorbachev: Politics of Change in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the USSR (2010).
