When my Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault was to be published in Iran, the publisher notified me that a final step was necessary: getting a publishing license from the state’s censors. So the manuscript was submitted for approval to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
At the time, I had difficulty wrapping my mind around the reality of asking permission from government censors.
Some months later, permission was granted, and the Persian edition became a reality.
Below is an image of the end-of-Chapter-5 chart on the evolution of socialist strategies. (English version here.)
Wonderful! If surreal.
Iran is one of many nations that has suffered grievous harm from the tradition this book critiques.
My enemy’s enemy . . . lol
