Description:
The West views Iran through the lens of fear and stereotypes. Where traditional Western media gives excessive space to the extreme views of the mullahs, the Internet provides a more balanced and nuanced picture. Bloggers raise their voices in a dynamic, youthful society and give a picture of the society in which they live with humor, anger and optimism. The blogs are used by people who are by definition open to sharing their thoughts and feelings with others.

In We Are Iran, Nasrin Alavi has brought together the different voices of young Iranian bloggers. They write freely about everything that concerns them, such as the oppression of women, the revolution, religion, but also about music, the media and love and relationships. Iran has one of the most youthful and educated populations in the Middle East and it is this generation that will ultimately decide the future of Iran.

We Are Iran offers a unique view of a country that primarily inspires fear, but also has another face. It is a vital, contemporary book that brings the youth of Iran to life.
