Today, the Iranian world, which encompasses the whole Persian-speaking and culturally "Persianate" region, including Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Tajikistan, parts of Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, is a geopolitically sensitive region. But it is also a distinct cultural area with a rich and complex history, a mosaic of ethnic and religious groups, ancient languages and dialects, and sophisticated literatures.

The essays in this volume address a broad range of questions from a variety of fields, including languages, literature, religions, history, anthropology, demography, sociology, medicine, art, and film. The second volume covers events occurring in the medieval and modern Iranian world.

Studies on the Iranian World – Medieval and Modern by Anna Krasnowolska and Renata Rusek-Kowalska offers an insightful exploration of this culturally rich and diverse area with its intricate history and contemporary relevance.
