Iranian blogs: A book
I have always wondered why no one shows interest in the cultural and political implications of blogs in Iran and looks at it more seriously. I know there are already many press articles about the topic, however nothing can beat a well-written book.
The good news is that there is a book, written specifically about Iranian blogs and different implications of them. The author is Nafiseh Alavi, a British-Iranian who gladly is able to read Persian. So there are a lot of translated blog posts in the book, along with dozens of photos of contemporary Iran.
But the bad news is that the book has no publisher at the moment. She apparently had a contract with a well-known UK publisher, which due to financial problems later refused to publish the book. But the entire book is ready for print, in PDF files.
So here you go, a fascinating book with an enthusiastic author, ready to be published. Anyone interested? Email me please.
