The Politics of Women's Rights in Iran

Více o knize

Arzoo Osanloo examines the complex understanding of women's rights among Iranian women following the 1979 revolution, highlighting how the Islamic republic redefined these rights to distance itself from Western liberalism. The book illustrates the blending of liberal republican practices with Islamic principles of equality, showing that women's rights claims arise from a unique hybrid discourse. Through ethnographic research, Osanloo provides insight into the nuanced ways Iranian women navigate and assert their rights within this dual framework.
