Book Summary
For minority faith groups living in nineteenth-century Iran, religious conversion to Islam - both voluntary and forced - was the primary means of social integration and assimilation. This work explores the conversion experiences of Jewish families during this time, and examines the fluid, multiple religious identities that many converts adopted.
