Excerpt from the Introduction for Between Iran and Zion
Introduction
THE INTENSE RELATIONS BETWEEN IRAN AND ISRAEL since 1979 have given prominence to false dichotomies and wrong assumptions that dominate the discourse instead of facts. Relatively few people realize that in the Middle East, Iran’s Jewish population is second in size only to that of Israel. The number of Jews in Iran has fluctuated significantly from the early twentieth century to the present time. Due to natural growth on the one hand and migration—mostly out of Iran—on the other, the Jewish population hovered at around one hundred thousand for the better part of the past century; following the 1979 revolution, it dwindled down to twenty thousand to thirty thousand. Today, it is estimated that the number of Jews still living in the country is roughly twenty-five thousand.1 The reason that this knowledge is scarce stems from our reading of contemporary politics as one-dimensional instead of in the context of the long historical axis of Jewish Iranian history. Iranian animosity toward Israel, necessarily interpreted as anti-Jewish sentiments arising from an acceptance of the Zionist narrative, leads us to think that there is no redemption for (especially Middle Eastern) Jews anywhere but in Israel.

Eliz Sanasarian's book explores the political and ideological relationship between non-Muslim religious minorities in Iran and the state during the formative years of the Islamic Republic to the present day. Her analysis is based on a detailed examination of the history and experiences of the Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Jews, Zoroastrians, Bahais and Iranian Christians, and describes how these communities have responded to state policies regarding minorities. Many of her findings are constructed out of personal interviews with members of these communities. While the book is essentially an empirical study, it also highlights more general questions associated with exclusion and marginalization and the role of the state in defining these boundaries. This is an important and original book which will make a significant contribution to the literature on minorities and to the workings of the Islamic Republic.
