{"product_id":"sexual-politics-in-modern-iran-janet-afary-9780521727082","title":"Sexual Politics in Modern Iran","description":"Janet Afary is a native of Iran and a leading historian. Her work focuses on gender and sexuality and draws on her experience of growing up in Iran and her involvement with Iranian women of different ages and social strata. These observations, and a wealth of historical documents, form the kernel of this book, which charts the history of the nation's sexual revolution from the nineteenth century to today. What comes across is the extraordinary resilience of the Iranian people, who have drawn on a rich social and cultural heritage to defy the repression and hardship of the Islamist state and its predecessors. It is this resilience, the author concludes, which forms the basis of a sexual revolution taking place in Iran today, one that is promoting reforms in marriage and family laws, and demanding more egalitarian gender and sexual relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Afary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521727081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521727082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/02\/2009 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010","brand":"Janet Afary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056292458751,"sku":"9780521727082","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a0efb51-726d-40e0-bf00-c1d5ee50a3c1.jpg?v=1685040542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-politics-in-modern-iran-janet-afary-9780521727082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
