"Beginning as an investigation into the apparently disparate events that bookend the twentieth and twenty-first century ? the collapse of Communism and the Islamic Revolution in Iran ? Friendship of Nations: Polish Shi?ite Showbiz traces unlikely points of convergence in Iran and Poland?s economic, social, political, religious and cultural histories. Drawing on Slavs and Tatars? multi-disciplinary practice encompassing research, installations, lecture-performances and print media, this publication embraces new contributions in the form of essays, interviews, and archival presentation on subjects that range from seventeenth-century Sarmatism to the twenty-first-century Green Movement, taking in along the way, tales of the Polish Exodus, Wojtek the bear, craft, hospitality, Passion plays and taziyeh, and the political lessons of a Polish slow burn revolution for contemporary Iran." -- from Book Works website.
