- Summary:
- "Riding is a story of horseback riding, but it is also a history of Caspian horses, an exploration of Iranian American identity in both the American Southwest and along the Iran-Turkey border, the author's own research on sex and politics, her relationship to her family, and, full circle, the joy of riding. Crossing fields and oceans, Pardis Mahdavi shows how complicated and rewarding riding can be, especially as it intersects with female and feminist identity, as well as both personal and global histories"-- Provided by publisher.
