Reviews

This is a very impressive volume. The articles tie in well together and often address similar themes within their broader categories. - Sholeh Quinn, Iranian Studies 42.5 (December 2009), 798-800 The articles in this volume serve the twofold purpose of providing new insights into the history of the Iranian Baha'i community and of discussing the role of the Baha'is in the development of modern Iran. - Oliver Scharbrodt, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 71.3 (October 2008), 574-576 These 100 pages are important to all who aspire to know Airan or who seek to play a role in engagement with its government or organizations. - Morten Bergsmo, Journal of Peace Research, vol. 45, no. 6 (2008)
