Mehrzad Boroujerdi's Iranian Intellectuals And The West: The Tormented Triumph Of Nativism challenges the way many Americans perceive present-day Iran as well as how many Iranians view the West. Drawing on the works of Michel Foucault and Edward Said, Iranian Intellectuals And The West explore how Iranians use their own misunderstandings about the West to form their own identity and, in return, how Westerners describe Iran in negative terms to help them reaffirm the superiority of their own culture. Examining the works of thinkers seminal in defining modern Iran, Boroujerdi examines this nativist vision of an unsullied culture, seemly free of Western influence. Iranian Intellectuals And The West is informative, exceptional well researched and written, and will provide essential insights for the study of contemporary Iranian politics, society, and the influence of the west on a complex Islamic nation." — Midwest Book Review
