| Abstract | The Islamic incursions into Iran beginning in the 7th century brought permanent changes to the political and social landscape of the Iranian cultural sphere. Subjects, rivals, and even conquerors of the Sasanian Empire had the opportunity, sometimes by choice while others not, to re-examine their relationship to Iran broadly defined and the empires that ruled it. These developments reconstructed political, social, economic, and religious realities for many. Papers in this panel will address groups on the fringes of the Iranian world whose identities were shaped and transformed in the aftermath of the Islamic conquest of the Sasanian Empire. |
