Description

Analyses contemporary Iranian literature in both Iran and its diaspora, in relation to the social, economic and political fieldsHonourable Mention: Hamid Naficy Book Award of the Association of Iranian Studies 2022 Explores the literary relations between Iran and the world, including its large diaspora, with a global framework Based on 15 years of fieldwork and travels in Iran, with unique interviews, data collection and participant observation Offers innovative theorisation of post-revolutionary Iranian literature on the margins of the world literary system Watch a presentation by the author about the book (via UCI Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture Youtube) In this critical analysis, Laetitia Nanquette explores how Iranian literature has functioned and circulated from the 1979 revolution to the present. She looks at prose productions in particular, analysing several genres and media. Taking Iran as a starting point, Nanquette explores the forms, structures and functions of Iranian literature within Iranian society. She then turns to the diaspora with a focus on North America, Western Europe and Australia and the world beyond Iranians to examine the current dynamics of literary production and circulation between Iranian diasporic spaces and the homeland. "

Reviews
"A most welcome, exceptionally valuable and timely contribution to the study of Iranian literature, world literature, comparative literature and diasporic literature. Nanquette's book is grounded in years of fieldwork and travel in Iran, with extensive interviews, data collection and participant observation; there are few more qualified to write on global Iranian literature." -Professor Karen L. Thornber, Harvard University

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
