Iran—a nation shaped by imperial memory and modern vulnerability.Not too long ago, Iran was far larger than it is today. European expansion and colonial intervention cut away at its territories—provinces and realms that had long been part of Iran… or were imagined to be.This is the history of how Iran’s shifting borders shaped the modern state—and how, in turn, the idea of the Iranian homeland continues to be shaped by memory, myth, and identity.🚩About My 210th Guest Scholar:My guest is Dr. Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet, professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).
