"Childhood, Identity and Masculinity: The Boarding School Boys examines the lives of ten Iranian men who were sent to boarding schools in England during the 1960s and 1970s. Their stories, situated at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultural values, signify their passage to manhood, and highlight the meaning of masculinity then and now. The reflective narratives explore issues of physical and emotional abuse received from administrators and peers, as well as the "man up" motto that pressured them to persevere in the spirit of meeting expectations and becoming a man. Narrated within the context of the traditional role of men in both Iranian and British societies, the book highlights key themes of trauma, survival and resistance, power and privilege, and their impact on the men over their lifespan. The volume offers rich insight into understanding the developmental challenges that adolescent boys face as they attempt to deal with trauma of separation from their parents, while conforming to strict rules and regulations of boarding school education, and societal expectations of them. The volume will be of interest to scholars of developmental psychology, childhood trauma, education, cultural psychology, men's studies, and gender. Individuals and parents interested in, and considering boarding school education will also find the narratives informative and educational"--

"From the early 1960s through the 1978-79 Iranian revolution, Iranian students in the United States organized into a militant leftist organization that they called the Iranian Students Association (ISA). The ISA supported Iranian national liberation by organizing on-campus and direct actions in protest of the US-Shah alliance and by targeting their universities' complicity with state repression in Iran. Anti-imperialist, Marxist, and internationalist, the ISA also aligned itself with other Third World liberation movements to oppose all forms of US imperialism abroad and state repression at home. This Flame Within traces how what Manijeh Moradian calls "revolutionary affect" motivated Iranian students of all class backgrounds to imagine their futures as interdependent those of other oppressed people. Moradian also considers the affective dissonance of women activists, who resisted US imperial co-optation of Iranian women's rights, but also joined the mass uprising of women in Tehran in March 1979, a unique moment of anti-imperialist feminism-while also navigating sexism within the ISA. This book offers the history of Iranian revolutionaries in the United States as a model for imagining modes of diasporic identity oriented away from nationalism, assimilation, and exceptionalism and towards solidarity with multiple freedom struggles."--
