This book examines the cultural, economic, and political achievements of
nom-Islamic peoples in Iran from the sixth through eighteenth centuries.
Rather than the usual negative, persecution approach to examining non-Muslims,
Khanbaghi analyzes "their sophistication, their religious tenacity and their
economic and political endeavours in a Muslim society" that restricted them.
He demonstrates how Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians in Iran--who all lived
as minorities under Muslim rule and who resisted assimilation to Islam--
survived and even flourished there.
