Description: "Great Satan" vs. the "Mad Mullahs" : How the United States and Iran Demonize Each Other, Paperback by Beeman, William O., ISBN 0226041476, ISBN-13 9780226041476, Brand New, Free shipping in the US   For more than twenty-five years, the United States and Iran have been diplomatically estranged, each characterizing the other not only as a political adversary, but also as devious, threatening, and essentially evil. According to William O. Beeman&;s provocativ, The &;Great Satan&; vs. the &;Mad Mullahs,&; such demonization is a self-fulfilling prophecy, as both countries have embraced exactly the policies and rhetoric that would particularly threaten or insult the other. Drawing on his experience as a linguistic anthropologist, Beeman parses how political leaders have used historical references, religious associations, and the mythology of evil to inflame their own citizens against the foreign country, and proposes a way out of this dangerous debacle.   &;William Beeman&;s analysis of dissonant perceptions of Iran and the USA is compelling and important. . . . I am particularly grateful for this work.&;&;James Peacock, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill   &;[Beeman] is more interested in informing the reader than in impressing his peers. The other strength of th lies in the author&;s knowledge of Iranian history and culture. . . . It challenges the reader and forces him to question stereotypes about Iran and Washington&;s perspective on the country.&;&;Abbas William Samii, Middle East Journal
