On page 130, Mottahedeh writes that “current scholarship dedicated to the study of Iranian modernity, of which Babism is a core component, must learn from its ‘object,’ so as not to re-erect the disciplinary and rhetorical ‘veils’ that have proven themselves ineffective over time.”	cache/ajiss-1399.pdf	txt/ajiss-1399.txt
