- This original work provides an ethnographically rich and theoretically embedded analysis of the generational shift that has occurred in how young Iranians talk about, and experience, their post-revolutionary and postwar experiences. Situated at the intersection of the fields of social and medical anthropology it provides one of the first original accounts of their encounters with psychiatry and the pharmaceuticalisation of their lived experience. The work analyses the rise and normalization of psychiatric discourses in post 1980s Iran and makes a highly regarded contribution to scholarship on memory and trauma in post-conflict situations.
