Refashioning Iran Orientalism, Occidentalism, and Historiography St AntonysMohamad Tavakoli Targhi offers a corrective to recent works on Orientalism that focus solely on European scholarly productions without exploring the significance of native scholars and vernacular scholarship to the making of Oriental studies. He brings to light a wealth of 18th and 19th century Indo Persian texts, made homeless by subsequent nationalist histories and shows how they relate to Indo Iranian modernity. In doing so, he argues for a radical rewriting of Iranian history with profound implications for Islamic debates on gender. About the AuthorMohamad Tavakoli Targhi is Associate Professor of Historiography and Middle Eastern History at Illinois State University.
