Recenzje

'In her compelling first book, Assal H. Rad takes us on a journey through Iranian music, film, and TV drama to argue that we must seek Iran's post-revolutionary identity in works of cultural production. Her interdisciplinary approach and lucid writing make for a book that will be welcomed by students and general readers alike.' Nahid Siamdoust, The University of Texas at Austin
