Download or read book Journey from Tehran to Chicago written by H. Dizadji and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a brief overview of the glorious history of Iran interrupted by the invasion of external forces and periods of darkness, Journey from Tehran to Chicago addresses the mutual, beneficial interaction between Islamic and Iranian civilizations and cultures. It dissects and analyses maladaptive and adaptive behavioral patterns of certain Iranian leaders throughout history. Dr. Dizadji, an American-Iranian, describes his childhood, schooling, medical school training, and his army experience in Iran. He elaborates on the social, political, and economic states of Iran during that period, which he thinks have contributed to the Iranian revolution and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran. After the completion of his cardiology training in the United States, the author returns to Iran to achieve his intended goal, to practice medicine in Iran. However, disappointed, he returns to the United States as a postdoctoral fellow in cardiology sponsored by the National Heart Institute of the United States. He eventually engages in a successful medical practice, and takes additional educational courses in Chicago. Holding several prestigious positions in the medical community, he then focuses on the health care system of the United States, discussing its rapid changes with advantages and weaknesses.

Download or read book Tehran Blues written by Kaveh Basmenji and published by Saqi Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two decades after their parents rose up against the Shah's excesses, increasing numbers of young Iranians risk jail at the hands of religious paramilitaries roughly their own age, for things their counterparts in the West take for granted: wearing makeup, slow dancing at parties, holding hands with members of the opposite sex. Every day anxious parents queue at courthouses to bail out sons and daughters who have been detained for 'moral crimes'. Kaveh Basmenji, who spent his own youth amidst the turbulence of the Islamic Revolution, argues that Iran's youth are in near-open revolt for want of greater freedoms, in furious defiance of the mullahs and their brand of sombre religiosity. Through candid interviews with young people, and in a careful assessment of Iran today (including a special chapter on the implications of the recent election to the presidency of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad), Basmenji gets to the heart of the matter: What do Iran's youth want, and how far are their elders prepared to go to accommodate them?
Download or read book Tehran written by Ali Madanipour and published by Academy Press. This book was released on 1998-09-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book dedicated to the city of Tehran. Once held to be one of the capitals of the luxurious Orient - the home of the Peacock Throne - the city is now a giant metropolis with great influence across the Muslim world. Tehran's two revolutions have not only shaken the city but have drawn the fault lines between East and West. Tehran traces the capital's social and physical transformation over the last two centuries - from the Persian empire to the Islamic Republic, from a small town at the centre of a loose collection of provinces to a node in the global economy, from a city dominated by the shah's citadel overlooking a maze of winding streets to an open but polarized matrix of people and places, changes which characterize the tensions of globalization and modernity. To the West, Tehran remains a hidden city, structured by an alien political and religious ideology. The author's first-hand experience of both Iranian culture and of the city of Tehran itself allows him to explore the subtleties of this urban environment with a fine-grained insight. Tehran will become an indispensable guide to any interested in the fabric and history of this city, one of the few world cities which has shaped the course of the Twentieth Century.
Download or read book Ottoman Iranian Borderlands written by Sabri Ateş and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a plethora of hitherto unused and under-utilized sources from the Ottoman, British and Iranian archives, Ottoman-Iranian Borderlands traces seven decades of intermittent work by Russian, British, Ottoman and Iranian technical and diplomatic teams to turn an ill-defined and highly porous area into an internationally recognized boundary. By examining the process of boundary negotiation by the international commissioners and their interactions with the borderland peoples they encountered, the book tells the story of how the Muslim world's oldest borderland was transformed into a bordered land. It details how the borderland peoples, whose habitat straddled the frontier, responded to those processes as well as to the ideas and institutions that accompanied their implementation. It shows that the making of the boundary played a significant role in shaping Ottoman-Iranian relations and in the identity and citizenship choices of the borderland peoples.

Download or read book Iran Make Love Not War A Maverick Iranian Way written by Mary Jane Walker and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iran is completely different to the cartoon-like image portrayed in the West, of a land of religious fanatics chanting Death to America. In reality it's a fabulous ancient civilisation and a country that's full of intelligent young people. This book, Iran: Make Love not War is an impression of Iran, gleaned from a three-week visit in 2018. I visited Tabriz, Teheran, Isfahan, Shiraz, the ancient capital of Persepolis, royal graves and the desert city of Yazd. I saw smugglers and prostitutes whose practice was sanctioned as a temporary marriage by clerics; the most fabulous mosques and palaces anywhere; one of the first planned cities at Isfahan; Shiraz, the abode of poets and the stained glass mosque of Nasir-ol-Molk; and much more.
Download or read book An Iranian Town in Transition written by Christoph Werner and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2000 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Iranian Town in Transition deals with the social and economic history of Tabriz, a town in north-west Iran and the centre of the historical province Azerbaijan. The focus of this study is on the notables of the town in an epoch of fundamental change that stretches from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Far from narrating a simple history of events, the study addresses major questions related to endowments (waqf), the workings of the Shiite judiciary, urban and provincial administration, the changing role of the 'ulama, and tenure of landed property in concrete case-studies. With its wide perspective on developments in urban society, the study interprets the process of social change in the transitional period from the Zands to the Qajars as a crucial starting point for the modern history of Iran. Stressing the importance of indigenous sources for this period, the author drew heavily on hitherto neglected Persian archival material. A large number of documents, deeds, and court protocols are included in critical edition in the appendix.

Download or read book Letters from Tabriz written by Hasan Javadi and published by Persia Observed. This book was released on 2008 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1907 while Iran was in the throes of its Constitutional Revolution, Britain and Russia concluded a secret agreement to divide the country between themselves into zones of influence. In 1910 with the tacit support of the British, Tsarist Russia occupied northwest Iran and violently suppressed the constitutional movement in Tabriz, the northwestern city which was at the centre of the constitutional movement. The ferocity of the Russian occupation took leaders of the constitutionalists by surprise, and in desperation they cried out for help to democratic nations. Edward G Browne was a scholar and professor at Cambridge University who wrote "The Persian Revolution" and the four-volume "Literary History of Persia". He supported the constitutionalists in word and deed. Appalled by the British government's acquiescence of the Russian atrocities in Tabriz, he tried through letters to the editor, political lobbying, and the writing of pamphlets to mobilise public opinion to force the British government to intervene with Russia. "Letters from Tabriz" is the publication, prepared by Browne, of the letters sent to him by Iranian constitutionalist leaders describing, in rousing eyewitness accounts, the Russian atrocities in Tabriz. Its full publication was stifled because of the Anglo-Russian partnership prior to World War I, and it has never been published in English until now.
