This collection of essays presents a comprehensive study of the social and historical development of the Baha’i community, and its role in shaping modern Iran.
Conversion is an important theme, as contributors investigate large scale conversions to the Baha’i Faith from the Jewish and Zoroastrian communities.
Before this volume, few scholars working in the field of Iranian studies have written on the history or details of the persecution of Baha'is in Iran. Here, five scholars (Baha'is and non-Baha'is) redress this silence and look at different aspects of this persecution, including its historical background, the attitude of secular Iranians, persecution before and after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and human rights perspectives.
