Intellectual Discourse and the Politics of Modernization: Negotiating Modernity in Iran - Cambridge Cultural Social Studies
Mirsepassi, Ali (Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts)
Ali Mirsepassi explores Eurocentric assumptions about modernity and Islamic Fundamentalism. He argues the Iranian Revolution was not a clash between modernity and tradition but an attempt to accommodate modernity within a sense of authentic Islamic identity and culture and assesses the future of secularism and democracy in the Middle East.
