on Azeri Intellectuals
A new book in Persian, "Azeri Intellectuals,
National Identity and Ethnicity" by Ali Morshedi-zad, has
recently been published in Tehran (2001). The topic is one of
much concern and discussion among Azeri intellectuals in relationship
to the Pahlavi dynasty (1920-1979) and the Islamic Republic of
Iran (since 1979). Unfortunately, the author comes with preconceived
notions that he then sets about "proving", a process
not unlike that of former Soviet writers. This book should be
read by those who are interested in knowing the Perso-centric
point of view regarding Azeri nationality, as well as the domestic
politics and policy toward Azeri ethnicity within the Islamic
Republic of Iran. Unfortunately, the theoretical basis for the
author's discussion about ethnicity and modernity does not draw
much upon the broad international scholarship that has been achieved
this last decade. Contact: Nashr-eMarkaz Press at: info@nashr-e-markaz.com.
