I read this several years ago and then used it for a graduate course I taught. The students not only loved it, but learned so much about Islam, gender, Sufism, Iran, and more. This is in my top ten of academic books I have read over the past several years. It's really that good! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Passionate Prose *by K***V on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2008* This book took me to a place i never imagined meeting in Iran. Where cultural anthropolgy meets the war front via iconic films, books and media. I found the authors manner of writing to keep me entertained through her poetic vision of what it meant to be an Iranian in post revolution Iran. Through her visionary eyes I felt what it meant to be passionate about a cause albeit a positive or negative one as seen in the west. I understood for a moment, what it meant to sacrifice all you have for one belief. Many of us Americans couldn't even imagine sacrificing our spare change to hand over to the poor let alone giving up our lives. This book reflected another position rarely seen in the West as to how the youth portray their country. It is within the youth we build our future, and in this matter this book opened up several channels, I would never be privy to in another country. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warring Souls:Youth, Media, and Martyrdom *by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2006* Anthropology, History, Fiction and Politics all come together in this tour de force. Roxanne Varzi opens the door to a society which for most of us is only knowable through the images on TV and in the papers. Iran, Tehran and then finally the inner circle of Tehran's middle-upper class youth (the first generation born in the wake of the Islamic Revolution) are revealed layer after layer each providing insight into the next. At each stage she meticulously leads us through state manufactured images and practices and helps the reader understand how different members of Iranian society cope with and/or relate to their surroundings. In a particularly visionary moment, Varzi states "My internal censor coupled with a vivid imagination, will not allow me to make any authoritative claims on reality, and thus I use different ways and different voices to relay my ethnographic journey." In acknowledging the danger of claims to reality, Varzi in fact brings the reader closer to a clear and coherent picture than usually result from similar narrative attempts. She takes us on a journey, as our guide, allowing us to stray and explore, but all the while with her hand outstretched in case our surroundings become unfamiliar. This is a book for readers of the Middle East, students of Iran and those interested in exploring a new and refreshing approach to Anthropology - an exciting new model upon which, one can only hope, other anthropological studies will follow. Varzi's understanding and insight make "Warring Souls" a must read for anyone wanting a deeper and active understanding of Iranian society. An understanding which goes beyond the still images that clutter our minds and our TV screens. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/22972951-warring-souls-youth-media-and-martyrdom-in-post-revolution-iran](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/22972951-warring-souls-youth-media-and-martyrdom-in-post-revolution-iran) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
