Neither East Nor West

Focusing on contemporary Iranian life, the book combines travel writing, historical analysis, and personal interviews to offer a nuanced perspective on a nation often misrepresented in the West. Christiane Bird, who has personal ties to Iran, sheds light on its rich culture, breaking a long-standing silence surrounding it. This work serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of Iranian society, moving beyond the political narrative to reveal the everyday experiences of its people.
