It shows how Iranian poets, writers, and thinkers have always reflected the people¿s long struggle against both foreign and domestic tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    This artistic heritage explains the profoundly anti-colonial ideology of a twenty-first century Iran determined to forge modernity on its own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The author weaves in his own stories of growing up under the Shah of Iran, and the Islamic Revolution that replaced the royal Shah with the religious Ayatollah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    An outspoken political commentator, Dabashi divides fellow scholars and commentators with this book.
