Āsībʹshināsī-i guftmān-i nāsiyūnālīsm dar Īrān-i muʻāṣir: dar sāyah-i khvānish-i ās̲ār-i rawshanfikrān-i muʻāṣir-i Īrānī (namūnah-i mawridī-i ās̲ār-i Ṣādiq Hidāyat va Aḥmad Kasravī)

This compelling study, "Āsībʹshināsī-i guftmān-i nāsiyūnālīsm dar Īrān-i muʻāṣir", delves into the complex trajectory of nationalist discourse in contemporary Īrān. By critically examining the literary and intellectual contributions of iconic figures such as Ṣādiq Hidāyat and Aḥmad Kasravī, Dr. Parvīz Nīkʹravish unpacks the underlying structures of Iranian national identity formulated during the pivotal 1925-1979 era. The book meticulously explores how these intellectuals navigated concepts of patriotism, monarchical centrality, and ancient Persian heritage to construct a cohesive national narrative. Through a rigorous theoretical lens, the text highlights both the unifying power and the inherent vulnerabilities of this discourse, offering profound insights into the intersections of literature, history, and politics in Īrān. Essential reading for scholars of Persian literature, Middle Eastern studies, and political history.
