Frontier Fictions

Více o knize

Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet examines the Iranian struggle to define and defend its borders during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The concept of "frontier fictions" reveals how fluctuating borders influenced national identity and cultural evolution. This exploration highlights the emergence of new notions of citizenship and nationality, reshaping traditional understandings of ethnicity. By analyzing these dynamics, the book sheds light on the broader implications of territorial conflicts on Iran's national narrative.
