HIST 051 PZ -Iran before & after 2 Revolutns

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Iran before and after Two Revolutions, 1501 - Present: Frequently, Iran is depicted negatively in the media. Its historical past and centuries of cosmopolitan culture are largely ignored. Why is history so dramatically absent from most public debates about Iran? In order to better understand contemporary issues, we will examine major turning points, ideas, and movements that have shaped the country since the 16th century. We begin our exploration with the structure of power and the historic relations between state and religion and continue with events since the 1800, such as the Babi and Tobacco uprisings, the constitutional revolution, Iran-US relations, and the 1979 Revolution and its aftermath.
