Reviews
“Iran is often understood as a homogenous nation-state. A closer look at the Iranian society – in Iran and beyond – allows for a better understanding. The volume of Behnaz gives insights into an overlooked aspect of Iranian society, insights not available before. The student of Iran may have heard about nomads, Kurds, Zoroastrians, Armenians, sometimes about Jews or other minorities but never had access to such a specter of information about Iranian minorities. Especially, since most of the contributions are not written by foreign experts but byIranian researchers, this volume will be a milestone for further research on Iranian minorities. The volume edited by Behnaz is an indispensable handbook for researchers.” (Rüdiger Lohlker, Professor at Institute for Oriental Studies, Faculty of Philology and Cultural Studies, University of Vienna, Austria)
