Who is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? What drives him? To whom, if anyone, does he answer? Internationally acclaimed Iranian journalist Kasra Naji has spent years interviewing Ahmadinejad's friends, family, and colleagues to tell for the first time the true story of how he came to power. What emerges in this riveting account, featuring never before published color photographs, is a picture of a man who is much more of a force to be reckoned with than the caricatures offered up so far suggest. While Naji documents Ahmadinejad's often strange behavior, he also shows him to be full of complex contradictions: a man gripped by apocalyptic beliefs, yet capable of switching spiritual allegiance in the quest for power. A man tough enough to fight street battles in the name of Ayatollah Khomeini, crude enough to invite the German chancellor to join him in an anti-Jewish alliance, yet sophisticated enough to win the support of the all-powerful Revolutionary Guard. Kasra Naji takes us inside the shadowy council chambers of Tehran, and shows us the plots, passions, and personalities that will influence Ahmadinejad's next move, while the world waits with bated breath.". …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "When Ahmadinejad was elected President in June 2005, anxiety replaced election fever amongst many Iranians. To let off steam they told jokes. Why did the new President part his hair so straight? To segregate the male and female lice. But while the laughter died down, the anxiety never went away."As Iran's nuclear programme accelerates, all eyes are on the blacksmith's son who could have his finger on the trigger. Who is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? What drives him? What formed him? To whom, if anyone, does he answer?Internationally acclaimed journalist Kasra Naji, a native Persian speaker, has spent years in Iran interviewing friends, family and colleagues of the firebrand President to tell for the first time the true story of how he came to power. A picture emerges far more compelling than any of the caricatures offered up so far. While Naji documents the often strange behaviour of Ahmadinejad, with his visions of the Hidden Imam and diatribes against Israel, he also shows him to be full of contradictions: a strange and complex man, at once gripped by apocalyptic beliefs, yet capable of switching spiritual allegiance in the quest for power; a man tough enough to fight street battles in the name of Ayatollah Khomeini during the revolution, who was described by former army comrades as a "coward"; and a man crude enough to invite the German Chancellor to join him in an anti-Jewish alliance, yet sophisticated enough to win the political support of the all-powerful Revolutionary Guard. The unknown Ahmadinejad - revealed here by Naji - is much more of a force to be reckoned with than the bogeyman conjured up by Washington. Naji takes us inside the shadowy council chambers of Tehran, and shows us the plots, passions and personalities that will influence Ahmadinejad's next move, while the world waits with baited breath. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Kasra Jalilipours Apocrypha brings together trans masculine saints, Jinns and lesbian cockroaches in these three performance texts. Subverting Iranian folk tales and early Catholic iconographies, Apocrypha alchemises tradition and the weight of history into a collection that is both revelatory and rich with resistance.Here we have saints for the saintless. Bemuscled archetypes creeping up our storylines all the way from antiquity to better stalk our fantasies, and continue their trade in classic barstool-wisdom as they do so. Holding court and telling tall tales. And in Apocrypha, Jalilipours gallery of ancient gods, lost girls and cockroaches remind us that these fantasies are the same as they ever weresimply the devastating need to know that we are okay and are allowed to exist. Carle Gent, author of The Balls of AlbanThe brute paucity of Jalilipours writing in Apocrypha (part fairytale, part myth, part erotica) is a thrill to behold. Jalilipour cracks open the strange and poetic worlds of Christian sainthood and Iranian folklore, electrifying their queer and feminist presences to stunning effect. Its sexy in a scary way and scary in a sexy way. These tales pulse with life, reminding us that freedom is not to be taken for granted: it is a constant struggle, something to fight for, something to demand. Never a gift. Apocrypha cuts to the quick, and leaves a scar. Id follow Jalilipour into this hall of mirrors, trans saints, wet knives all over again. D Mortimer, author of Speed Glum HeroViolent, sexy, and (ir)religious, Kasra Jalilipours Apocrypha, a polyvocal homage to and reimagining of three Christian Virgin Martyrs through a modern trans-masculine rubric, is in turns sharply satirical and deeply heartfelt. The supernatural figure of the Jinn is repurposed for a scary but hot story of burgeoning lesbian desire and female homosociality, while a poetic rereading of an Iranian childrens tale reveals the impossibility of heterosexuality in the face of male violence. If you like work about resistance, faith, torture, and queer desires, youll love this. Ray Filar" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
