The Transformation of Iran | ASMR Soft Spoken

Description

This video explores the history of Iran, formerly Persia, in the twentieth century to the present. My hope is that we can understand the forces leading to the current conflict in the region, while also finding book titles that will humanize those that are so often forgotten by war. The books I mention in this video are:

The Shahmaneh, Ferdowsi
The Blind Owl: Hedayat
Savushun: Simin Daneshvar
The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree: Shokoofeh Azar
Censoring an Iranian Love Story: Shahriar Mandanipour
Women Without Men: Shahrnush Parsipur

We will touch on each of these in the coming weeks in the membership. Please join if interested!

This topic is new to me. If I get anything wrong or mispronounce, please let me know. I try to look up all pronunciations but inevitably I bungle.

Thank you for being here :)

Jessa ❤️
