Trade Review
"Gheissari's work is significant in that it marks a recent trend in Iranian studies to examine the concept of self in conjunction with society and state... This book is a distinguished piece of scholarship, well and clearly written, scientifically documented, and theoretically fair and exhaustive." Darius Rejali, author of Torture and Modernity: State, Self and Society in Modern Iran
