The Bahai community of Iran is the countrys largest nonMuslim religious minority. This collection of essays presents a comprehensive study of the social and historical development of the Bahai community, and its role in shaping modern Iran.Central to this study is the pioneering character of the Bahai community in the late 19th and early 20th century, with chapters examining the role of women in the Bahai community; the impact of Bahairun schools on Iranian society, Bahai contributions to public health initiatives; and the influence of Bahai thought and the actions of individual Bahais on the Constitutional Revolution of 19061911.Conversion to the Bahai Faith is another important theme, as contributors investigate the phenomenon of large scale conversion to the Bahai Faith from the Jewish and Zoroastrian communities.Finally, although persecution of the Bahais has drawn the attention of the Western media, until now few scholars working in the field of Iranian studies have chosen to write on the history or details of this persecution. Here, five prominent figures in the field redress this balance and look at different aspects of this persecution, including its historical background, the attitude of secular Iranians, persecution before and after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and human rights perspectives.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Iranian studies, Middle Eastern studies and comparative religion, and with many chapters authored by leading academics in Iranian studies, The Bahais of Iran addresses both a gap in academic literature on the Bahai Faith, and in the study of modern Iran in general.
