The End of Internationalism? From Revolutionary Collaboration to Independent Statebuilding in Iran, Turkey, and the Soviet Republics, 1914-22
Program on Central Asia Lecture

Kayhan Nejad (University of Oklahoma) examines the Jangalis' continuing attempts at internationalism, asking how they understood Iran's role within a broader revolutionary landscape and why their coalition-building efforts ultimately failed. In so doing, it interrogates the end of transnationalism in Gilan, and asks how Iranian monarchy withstood the political upheavals that remade the Soviet and Turkish republics.

Global Migration, Transnationalism and the Quest for Home

Filled with compelling vignettes and stories about Bangladeshi lived experiences in Tokyo and Los Angeles, Hasan Mahmud's book offers a fresh theoretical perspective on remittances, showing that remittances are not just a form of transnational practice but an expression of a common struggle to make home across borders.
