- Description:
- Michigan State University History Professor Emine Evered delivers opening remarks at the Muslim Journeys Book Club event which features a discussion of Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel "Persepolis." Evered contextualizes the Iranian revolution as portrayed in Persepolis and examines the history of Iran in the 20th century. She focuses primarily on the reign of Reza Shah Palavi and Mohammad Reza Shaw Palavi, especially on the growing Western influence in Iran as the Shahs sought to modernize and secularize Iran. Evered asserts such attemps at westernization led to a coalition of discontented groups among both conservative and liberal Iranians resulting in the Iranian Revolution and the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Shaw Palavi. MSU Librarian Deborah Margolis introduces Evered.
