Iran Before and Beyond the Islamic Republic: History, Identity, and the Struggle for the Future

By DAVILLA

Iran is often spoken about as if it began in 1979. In headlines, policy debates, and popular imagination, the Islamic Republic has come to stand in for an entire civilization thousands of years older than the state that now governs it. This narrowing of Iran's story obscures a far deeper truth: Iran is not defined by one revolution, one ideology, or one interpretation of faith. It is a civilization that has survived conquest, transformation, reform, collapse, and rebirth-again and again.
