Tensions in Iran continue to rise in the wake of last week's highly disputed presidential
election.
Roxanne Varzi, UCI anthropology associate professor, is an expert on post-revolution
Iran, youth culture and media. In 2000, she was awarded the first Fulbright scholarship
for research in Iran since the Iranian Revolution. She is the author of Warring Souls:
Youth, Media, and Martyrdom in Post-Revolution Iran in which she provides an account
of the beliefs and experiences of young, middle-class, urban Iranians, based on ethnographic
research she conducted in Tehran between 1991 and 2000.
She recently spoke with New America Media on the dynamics of those who have turned
out to protest the country's election.
