Iran Book News Agency
July 14 2010
"A history of modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian has been rendered into
Persian by Mohammad Ebrahim Fatahi and it is to be published by Ney.
IBNA: In a reappraisal of Iran's modern history, Ervand Abrahamian
traces its traumatic journey across the twentieth century, through the
discovery of oil, imperial interventions, the rule of the Pahlavis and,
in 1979, revolution and the birth of the Islamic Republic.
In the intervening years, the country has experienced a bitter war with
Iraq, the expansion of the state and the struggle for power between
the old elites, the intelligentsia and the commercial middle class. The
author is a compassionate expositor. While he adroitly negotiates the
twists and turns of the country's regional and international politics,
at the heart of his book are the people of Iran. It is to them and
their resilience that this book is dedicated, as Iran emerges at the
beginning of the twenty-first century as one of the most powerful
states in the Middle East.
Ervand Abrahamian is a historian of Middle Eastern and particularly
Iranian history. An Armenian born in Iran and raised in England,
he received his M.A. at Oxford University and his Ph.D. at Columbia
University. He teaches at the City University of New York (CUNY) where
he is Distinguished Professor of History at Baruch College and the
CUNY Graduate Center. He has taught at Princeton University, New York
University and Oxford University. He is currently working on a book
about the 1953 Iranian coup d'état for Cambridge University Press.
A history of modern Iran" by Ervand Abrahamian has been rendered into
Persian by Mohammad Ebrahim Fatahi and it is to be published by Ney
in 352 pages.
