Abstract
This study explores the way in which the Iranian Post-Revolutionary political and religious authorities subordinate the teaching of History to their political agenda by analyzing the political, ideological, and cultural discourses embedded in the secondary school history course book, The Contemporary History of Iran (Tārīkh-i Muʿāṣir-i Iran), which is a mandatory textbook in the Iranian education system.
