5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, October 24, 2007
I found this book an excellent resource. It is easy to read and understand. She not only draws from Paul Ricoeur's thoughts on self, but she articulates how Narrative Identity has changed and impacted the Iranian culture. You don't have to be a cultural anthropologist to understand this book!
