Price: £10.00In this book the author who is working at the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies in Tehran-Iran has attempted to
reconfigure the question of Greater Iran by arguing that Iran does not refer to the current nation-state. On the contrary, when we say ‘Iran’ it refers to a cultural continent which goes beyond political boundaries of contemporary Islamic Republic of Iran. The author has tried to demonstrate the complexities of realities within the vast region of Eurasia by looking at concepts such as ethnicity, religion, borderlines, and so on and so forth.
