Chicago Students Protest in Support of Persepolis
There’s a reason behind the banning. American chauvinists do not want the working class and the people to know the reality behind the revolutionary movement in Iran. The book does a great job in visualizing the Iranian left during the 1979 revolution. The banning of the book dehumanizes the essential meaning of education and wants to advocate a Orientalist perspective of the state post-revolution. Banning this book can make it easier for the imperialists to invade the country for ‘humanitarian reasons’. The book does a great job in depicting the brutality behind the Shah regime and the ban just simply neglects the prospects behind the revolution.
FUCK ORIENTALISM
what the fuck is wrong with Persepolis?!
Oh yeah, it shows Iran and Iranians in a human light instead of evil big baddie foreigners who want to destroy us all
bye
People are seriously trying to ban Persepolis? What the actual fuck
