Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran

Investigates the ways in which Armenian minorities in Iran encountered Iranian nationalism and participated in its development over the course of the twentieth century. Based primarily on oral interviews, archival documents, personal memoirs, memorabilia, and photographs, the book examines the lives of a group of Armenian-Iranians and explores the personal conflicts and paradoxes attendant upon their layered allegiances and compound identities.
