"Moharram symbols and rituals are among the most pervasive and popular aspects of Iranian culture and society. The Martyrs of Karbala traces patterns of continuity and change in three aspects of Iranian life: the importance of these rituals in promoting social bonds, status, identities, and ideals; the ways in which three successive regimes (Qajars, Pahlavis, and the Islamic Republic) have either used these rituals to promote their legitimacy or have suppressed them because they viewed them as a potential political threat; and the uses of Moharram symbolism by opposition groups interested in overthrowing the regime."--Jacket 410 0$aPublications on the Near East, University of Washington. 606 $aShi??ah$zIran$xHistory 606 $aShi??ah$zIran$zTehran$vCase studies 606 $aMuslim martyrs$zIraq$zKarbala?? 606 $aShi??ah$xCustoms and practices 606 $aIslam and politics$zIran 615 0$aShi??ah$xHistory. 615 0$aShi??ah 615 0$aMuslim martyrs 615 0$aShi??ah$xCustoms and practices. 615 0$aIslam and politics 676 $a297.8/2/0955 700 $aAghaie$b Kamran Scot$01615518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827343103321 996 $aThe martyrs of Karbala$94079098 997 $aUNINA
