520 "Iran is a country which, despite its extensive coverage
in the media, is often regarded as 'mysterious', 'exotic'
and 'other-worldly'. This attitude often stems from a
focus on the rhetoric of controversial figures in Iranian
politics, rather than looking at the everyday lives of
Iranians themselves. Clarissa de Waal uses her training as
an anthropologist to examine the experiences of
individuals, with a focus of the province of Fars in
southwest Iran. This serves to highlight contemporary Iran
outside of the capital, which so often dominates western
understanding of the country. Using a wide range of
subjects, from public sector workers and entrepreneurs to
Qashqa'i tribes people (both settled and nomadic),
students and the unemployed, de Waal examines the everyday
existence Iran's population from a variety of backgrounds.
She offers analysis and insights concerning ordinary
Iranians' lives and the impact the state has on them
economically, socially and religiously. "--|cProvided by
