…final book recommendations for understanding iran and post-revolutionary society
“The second book is The Mantle of the Prophet, Religion and Politics in Iran by Roy Mutahede, which also does something rare. It adds texture to the Iranian society and helps you understand the post-revolutionary Iran with all of its contradictions and societal trends and culture. And it really defies this caricature of things being black and white and how sometimes U.S. policy completely papers over all of these things.”
