Review:

"For anyone interested in understanding the complexities of contemporary Iranian politics, this book should be mandatory reading." -- Afsaneh Najmabadi, Middle East Journal "Precisely how Iranians have fashioned, and are fashioning, their daily life -- or, as Adelkhah puts it, 'reinventing their modern life' -- is the tantalizing focus of this very interesting... book about Iranian culture and politics." -- Farideh Farhi, International Journal of Middle East Studies
