As censorship is unrecorded and not officially acknowledged in Iran, the author has examined newspaper records and conducted first-hand interviews with Iranian poets and writers. looking into the ways in which poets and writers attempt to subvert the codes of censorship by using symbolism and figurative language to hide their more controversial messages. A ground-breaking analysis, this book will be vital reading for anyone interested in contemporary cultural politics and literature in Iran.Additional ISBNs9781784538071Censorship of Literature in Post-Revolutionary Iran: Politics and Culture since 1979 1st Edition is written by Alireza Abiz and published by I.B.
