| Abstract |
This collection of 65 documents, 64 of which are in English, and one (Masse, 1938), a translation from the French, include general data on modern Iran, its geography and inhabitants, its economy and government and specific data on the Iranians and their culture. The time span for these documents ranges from about 2000 B.C. to 2006 A.D. The most comprehensive coverage of Iranian culture history and ethnography, in summary form, will be found in Beeman, 2006. Other studies that provide supplementary data on Iranian history and ethnography are Masse, 1938 (to the 1930s) and Haas, 1946 (to the 1940s). The works by Metz, 1989 and Hooglund, 1989 do not extend their general ethnographic coverage beyond 1987. Other ethnographic topics discussed in this collection are: agriculture and irrigation development in: Fitt, 1953; Hadary, 1951; Noel, 1944; and Fisher, 1938. Land tenure and land reform are primary topics in: Lambton, 1953 and Keddie, 1972. Various aspects of Iranian economics are described in detail in: Michalis, 1954; Gupta, 1947; and MacPherson, 1989. Culture change figures prominently in many, but especially in: Hooglund, 1981; Good, 1981; and Nassehi-Behnam, 1985. Other topics given particular attention are: gender roles and women's status in Iranian society in: Higgins, 1994; Friedl, 1994; Aghajanian, 1994; and Heglund, 2004. Industry and industrial development in: International Labor Office, 1950, 1949; Sinclair, 1951; Overseas Consultants, 1949; and Naficy, 1981. Nomadism and minority groups in Iran in: Salzman, 2002; Higgins, 1986; and Kazemi, 1980. Politics form a major topic of discussion in: Hooglund, 1989 and Elwell-Sutton, 1949. A detailed description of the Islamic Revolution of 1978-1979 will be found in Fischer, 1980. |
