Decolonizing Minds:Knowing the Unknown Space Known as Iran

By Dr. Hadi Sultan-Qurraie

Chapter one deals with the creation of the Aryan myth and Persian/Iranians' infatuation with the myth. Chapter two talks about misappropriations, misreadings, and overstatements about Firdausi's Shahnameh. Chapter three deals with the ridiculous attribution of modern human rights to the so-called Cyrus CylinderChapter four provides a brief discussion pertaining to the expression "Farsi Shekar Ast." Farsi Is Sweet. Chapter five discusses Persianized Iran's lack of knowledge and understanding of the diverse ethnic peoples in Iran.The main goal of discussing the five aforementioned topics is to show how the so-called average Persian Iranian is influenced by these factors. The paradigms by which such people live have woven a cocoon of self-delusion around them.
