İranlı aydınlar arasında ırkçılık (1925-1979)

The works of contemporary Iranian intellectuals have been researched from many perspectives, but many of their thoughts have not been explored deeply, widely, and academically regarding the issue of racism. In this research, I used the qualitative content analysis method to examine the works of some prominent and contemporary Iranian intellectuals regarding having or not having racist elements in their writings published between 1925-1979. After methodically and analytically examining the works of contemporary Iranian intellectuals such as Ahmad Kasravi, Hasan Taqizadeh, Mohammad Ali Foroughi, and Sadegh Hedayat, we found evidence, elements, and signs of racist thoughts in their books and articles. In this thesis, you will learn about the views, thoughts, and racist approaches of the intellectuals whose names are determined towards Turks, Arabs, Mongols, Jews, and Islam. In addition, among the works of the five intellectuals whose names were determined to examine, racist thoughts were not found only in the writings of Reza Baraheni. With this research, I have tried to fill the existing research gap about the racist content of the works of contemporary Iranian intellectuals.
