In policing the line between \"bad criminal\" and \"good citizen,\" the carceral system has shaped and reshaped Iranian understandings of citizenship, freedom, and political belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGolnar Nikpour explores the interplay between the concrete space of the Iranian prison and the role of prisons in producing new public cultures and political languages in Iran. From prison writings of 1920s leftist prisoners and communiqu駸 of 1950s militant Islamists, to paintings of 1970s revolutionary guerrillas and mapping projects organized by contemporary dissident prisoners, carceral confinement has shaped modern Iranian political movements. Today, mass incarceration is a global phenomenon. \u003ci\u003eThe Incarcerated Modern\u003c\/i\u003e connects Iranian history to transnational carceral histories to illuminate the shared architectures, economies, and techniques of modern punishment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGolnar Nikpour\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of History at Dartmouth College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52631537680691,"sku":"9781503637634","price":61.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hwwyOu4pVp9781503637634.webp?v=1762185198","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-incarcerated-modern-prisons-and-public-life-in-iran-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
