Gil Feiler: Iran Beneath the Surface, Gebunden

Klappentext

Iran's future is taking shape in households, workplaces, digital networks and communities whose lives rarely fit official descriptions. Iran Beneath the Surface follows the widening distance between state identity and everyday experience. It examines changing beliefs, women's demands for equality, family life, cultural expression, provincial inequalities and the environmental pressures reshaping the country. Gil Feiler connects these changes to oil income, sanctions and the shadow economy, asking who gains room to act, who bears the cost of adaptation, and what political alternatives would need to deliver. Drawing on Iranian writing, regional debate, institutional data and documented cases, the book looks beyond predictions of imminent collapse to a more demanding question: what would allow a changing society to build a dependable public life?
