Iran is More Than Persia

Listen

In this episode, we are joined by Professor Brenda Shaffer, research faculty member of the US Naval Postgraduate School and nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, to discuss her new book, Iran is More Than Persia: Ethnic Politics in Iran. We explore the dynamics that shape the Iranian regime’s policies towards its ethnic and linguistic minorities and how demographics and geography affect Iranian politics, history, and culture. This episode is adapted from a recent virtual book talk.
