Produktbeschreibung
This book "The Forbidden Tale" seeks to fill a knowledge gap, as its the first fieldwork research about the LGB community inside of Iran and the distinctive contexts in which this community functions. This anthropological and fieldwork study of LGB people in Iran examines the field of gender by looking at the many complex aspects of sexual identity and its intricacies in that community, in the context of an increasing recognition of sexual orientation and the challenges that current practices of LGB and gender in Iran present. Myths and narratives that have often led to misconceptions about gender, and the mistaken policies and practices which ensue from them, are examined to provide a more holistic approach. This book is complex because it enters the realm of private and public life in today's Iran beyond a simple and general view of sexual orientation and gender-related Impressions. This research focused on in-depth interviews of over 300 LGB people, 60% male and 40% female, inthe three metropolitan cities of Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan.
