Happening in Iran: A Sexual Revolution

dr-pardisNot a day goes by without news about Iran and what happens in Iran no doubt will affect the rest of the world.

Tune in to a great radio show with my guest Dr. Pardis Mahdavi who is an Assistant Professor of anthropology at Pomona College.

She will describe the happenings in Iran and Iran’s sexual revolution when we discuss her new book: Passionate Uprisings: Iran’s Sexual revolution.

Like the tip of a gigantic iceberg, Ms. Mahdavi’s book on Iran’s sexual revolution vividly describes the history, frustration, hopes, and fears of Iran’s youth which embrace sex as a means of rebellion. Find out the complexities which created and continues to influence Iran’s sexual revolution.

I have followed the recent elections in Iran with fascination and I wonder if an implosion or an explosion is building. If it happens it will, no doubt, have repercussion which will reverberate throughout the 21st century.

I recommend this fascinating read even if you are not interested in Iran or sex! This country on the opposite side of the Earth from the US will continue to play an important part in the world community and it behooves all Americans and westerners to understand Iran’s culture, mores, and politics–why not start at the top and work down?
