Iran and Beyond 
Essays in Middle
Eastern History in Honor of
Nikki R. Keddie
Edited by Rudi Matthee and Beth Baron
This volume of essays is a
tribute to Nikki R. Keddie, professor emerita at UCLA, who in her forty-year career has
authored and edited a number of important books and numerous articles in Iranian and
Middle Eastern Studies. It contains essays by former graduate students and admiring
colleagues on topics ranging from women and gender to education, literature, and politics,
in Iran, the Ottoman Empire, and the Arab world. The articles cover a variety of issues
yet stand together as a coherent whole. The themes of the book-"Intellectuals,
Education, and the West," "Sexuality, Literature, and Culture," and
"Islamists, Society, and Revolution"-do justice to the range and scope of Nikki
Keddie's own scholarship. Iran and Beyond concentrates on various aspects of social and
intellectual history, and the volume is thus a fitting homage to Keddie's work and a
valuable contribution to the field.
