My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes: Uncensored Iranian Voices

My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes: Uncensored Iranian Voices

Famous Iranian writers, artists, and intellectuals challenge Western perceptions about Iran in this watershed collection In the first anthology of its kind, Lila Azam Zanganeh argues that although Iran looms large in the American imagination, it is grossly misunderstood-seen either as the third pillar of Bush's infamous "axis of evil" or as a nation teeming with youths clamoring for revolution. This collection showcases the real scope and complexity of Iran through the work of a stellar group of contributors-including Azar Nafisi and with original art by Marjane Satrapi. Their collective goal is to counter the many existing cultural and political clichés about Iran. Some of the pieces concern feminism, sexuality, or eroticism under the Islamic Republic; others are unorthodox political testimonies or about race and religion. Almost all these contributors have broken artistic and cultural taboos in their work.
