[lbo-talk] values and social change - WAS Re: Hamid Dabashi on Iran

[Chuck Grimes]

it rankled to read what you wrote because I really think 
it was sieved through Western eyes -- not that anyone can help that 
terribly much.

And you see the authentic Iranian woman with non-western eyes? 

My only point was that Neda Soltan became an instant Iranian and
global icon. She became a public symbol for all the other stuff you've
mentioned.

I'll agree it is still an open question as to whether or not she will
remain as such an icon. Events will determine that.  

Rankle on..
