An ethnography of Hossein's mourning rituals in contemporary Iran, this book explores how the bodily dimensions of the ritual occasionally manifest excesses that exceed obedience to the authoritarian regime. Through participatory observation, the author vividly captures the ritual's inherent ambiguity-a space where governance and resistance are in constant tension.
