We are Iran

We Are Iran provides a moving and multi-voiced portrait of contemporary Iran using that nation's weblogs - internet diaries - as its primary source. The voices - translated from Farsi and infused with Persian lyricism - are full of wit, anger and optimism, and are refreshingly at odds with the grim vision of the country peddled by Western governments. Iranian bloggers talk of conflicts with the law, the condition of women, of repression and its subversion, and of culture, religion and the world around them.
