They used folklore, visual art and satire to disseminate a consciously radical and social democratic discourse on religion, gender, sexuality and power in Transcaucasia and Iran. The periodical reached tens of thousands of people in the Muslim world, impacting the thinking of a generation.\u003cbr\u003eThis highly-illustrated book explores the milieu in which \u003ci\u003eMollā Nasreddin\u003c\/i\u003e was born, the way the periodical recreated the trickster trope, and the influence of European graphic artists, especially Francisco Goya, on the journal. It focuses on the most creative period, 1906-11, when the journal reflected the social and political concerns of three major upheavals: the 1905 Russian Revolution, the 1906-1911 Iranian Constitutional Revolution, and the 1908 Young Turk Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Afary, Kamran Afary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.70w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474499507","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256045109385,"sku":"9781474499507","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5f2d4376-0369-4296-8fbf-3b9811bdc051.jpg?v=1736236255","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/molla-nasreddin-the-making-of-a-modern-trickster-1906-1911-9781474499507","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
