Published in 2014, โThe Jews of Iran: The History, Religion and Culture of a Community in the Islamic World,โ edited by Houman M. Sarshar, overturns centuries of silence and stereotype to reveal a vibrant, resilient community that has shaped the soul of Iran for over 2,700 years.
Far from being passive observers on the margins of Persian empires, Iranian Jews emerge here as cultural agents, economic contributors, artistic voices, and defiant storytellers. From the royal edicts of Cyrus the Great to the whispers of revolution in 1979, their presence echoes through Iranโs political, religious, and literary landscapes.
Blending archaeology with fiction, and trade routes with gendered memory, this book decodes the rich material and visual culture of Jewish life across millennia. It shines a special light on modern women writers like Gina Barkhordar Nahai and Dalia Sofer, whose novels dismantle the myth of the Jewish โotherโ and insist on a narrative where Jewish identity is not an outsiderโs shadowโbut part of Iranโs very self.
