The contentious life of Basij revolutionary politics in poor neighbourhoods of Iran

"The success of F1: The Movie broadcasts Abu Dhabi’s modern image to a rapidly expanding audience worldwide, advancing the Emirate’s soft-power ambitions one frame at a time." "...for Europe, supporting the Kurds is not simply a moral imperative, but a strategic necessity." "Food has emerged as a critical tool in redefining Iran’s identity at home and abroad. Through gastrodiplomacy, Iranian officials strategically use cuisine to foster regional goodwill, soften political tensions, and subtly reshape regional perceptions of Iran. Simultaneously, the Iranian diaspora, particularly in the United States, engages in its own form of cultural diplomacy, using recipes, restaurants, and memoirs to preserve heritage and articulate belonging." "... “Nowhere”, in Abdalla’s telling, is not emptiness, but the understanding that a human being is a prism made up of every place they have lived and every moment of awareness they have gained. For him, that prism includes lineage and heritage, a call to revolution and justice, and, ultimately, family." ❗️CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN❗️ Hey everyone!
