Book Reviews of Warring Souls: Youth, Media, and Martyrdom in Post-Revolution Iran
Book Review: The Passionate Prose
Summary: 5 Stars
This book took me to a place i never imagined meeting in Iran. Where cultural anthropolgy meets the war front via iconic films, books and media. I found the authors manner of writing to keep me entertained through her poetic vision of what it meant to be an Iranian in post revolution Iran. Through her visionary eyes I felt what it meant to be passionate about a cause albeit a positive or negative one as seen in the west. I understood for a moment, what it meant to sacrifice all you have for one belief. Many of us Americans couldn't even imagine sacrificing our spare change to hand over to the poor let alone giving up our lives. This book reflected another position rarely seen in the West as to how the youth portray their country. It is within the youth we build our future, and in this matter this book opened up several channels, I would never be privy to in another country.
