SUMMARY:Coup d’Etat in Iran? Revisiting 1921 and 1953, and the problem of modern Iranian historiography
DESCRIPTION:<p>The CMES Director's Series presents</p><p><strong>Yann</strong> <strong>Richard</strong><br>Professor <em>Emeritus</em>, director, l’Institut d’études iraniennes, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris</p><p>Iranian sources do not come readily available when a major political change brings about a return to authoritarian rule, as was the case in February 1921 or August 1953. The nationalistic discourse provides misleading answers by blaming foreign interference. A close analysis dismantles conspiracy theories. Where is the truth? This talk will present newly published documents to reflect on these issues.</p><p><strong>Sponsors: </strong>Aga Khan Fund, Department of Near Eastern Languages &amp; Civilizations; Center for Middle Eastern Studies<strong> <br>Contact:</strong> <a href="mailto:elizabethflanagan@fas.harvard.edu">Liz Flanagan</a></p>
