Ashton is joined by Iranian Historian, Human Rights Activist, and Founder of the Alliance of Iranian Women, Manda Zand Ervin to discuss the modern history of Iran. Ashton and Manda have a fascinating conversation regarding the events and forces that led up to the Iranian Revolution - notably the clash between those pushing for Iran to become a fundamentalist Islamic state v. the individuals who advocated for a secular society and the predominance of Persian culture. Manda and Ashton also discuss how European neoliberal imperialism, multi-national corporations, and Neo-Marxist/Postmodern ideologies played a role in the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the re-shaping of the entire middle-east.
Manda Zand Ervin is the author of The Ladies' Secret Society: History of the Courageous Women of Iran, which can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/Manda-Zand-Ervin/e/B084C17ZFY?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_14&sr=1-14.
