Daniel, Ali Akbar MahdiCreate CitationTable of contentsIran is often a hotspot in the news, and the Muslim state is usually negatively portrayed in the West. Culture and Customs of Iran rejects facile stereotyping and presents the rich, age-old Persian culture that struggles with pressures of the modern world. This is the first volume in English to reveal the important sociocultural facets of Iran today for a general audience in an objective fashion. Authoritative, substantive narrative chapters cover the gamut of topics, from religion and religious thought to Iranian cuisine and festivals.Source: PublisherGet bookBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeAvailable near youGeorge Mason University School of LawhardcoverFenwick Library, Arlington Campus Library, Antonin Scalia Law SchoolPinnedPin libraryMarymount UniversityhardcoverEmerson G.
