Graduate Students of Middle Eastern History
An electronic interview with the students of Dr. Carole A. O'Leary, Ph.D. Professor of Middle Eastern History at The American University in Washington, D.C. The students posed questions based on their reading of Daughter of Persia as a requirement for their course on the politics of identity in 20th Century Iran, with an emphasis on how the two Pahlavi Shahs constructed a modern Iranian nationality based on pre-Islamic Persian and Shi'a identity/nationalism. The course compares this era to the Qajar period and to the later Islamic period, noting parallels such as the exclusion of Kurds and Qashqa'i, and the de-emphasized pan-Islamism under Khomeini.
