Book Description
Iranian cinema is today widely recognized not merely as a distinctive national cinema, but as one of the most innovative in the world. This international stature both fascinates Western observers and appears paradoxical in line with perceptions of Iran as anti-modern. The largely Iranian contributors to this book look in depth at how Iranian cinema became a true 'world cinema'. From a range of perspectives, they explore cinema's development in post Revolution Iran and its place in Iranian culture.

Cinema, mirror of society!.......2007-01-11
This book is an outstanding work since it covers a wide range of works by different renowned directors who have had the courage to break silence. Works like this reflect the through picture of Iranian society and nation and help Iranians gain their tarnished reputation and identity in the world.
Book Description
This book reveals the history of Iran through its cinema as Sadr uses the films themselves to tell the story of shifting political, economic and social situations. The book covers the broad spectrum of Iran's cinema, offering vivid descriptions of key films and recurring themes and tropes, such as the preponderance of images of childhood, and what these reveal about Iranian society. It includes films throughout the 20th century with special emphasis on recent films influenced by September 11, from Mohsen Makhmalbaf's astonishing Kandahar to Saddiq Barmak's angry work Osama.
Book Description
Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (Black Like Me) and Barbara Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed), Norah Vincent absorbed a cultural experience and reported back on what she observed incognito. For more than a year and a half she ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five o'clock shadow, a crew cut, wire-rim glasses, and her own size 111/2 shoes—a perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. The result is a sympathetic, shrewd, and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism that's destined to challenge preconceptions and attract enormous attention.
With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie undetectable to an outsider. A stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut- wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed. She frequented sex clubs, dated women hungry for love but bitter about men, and infiltrated all-male communities as hermetically sealed as a men's therapy group, and even a monastery. Narrated in her utterly captivating prose style and with exquisite insight, humor, empathy, nuance, and at great personal cost, Norah uses her intimate firsthand experience to explore the many remarkable mysteries of gender identity as well as who men are apart from and in relation to women. Far from becoming bitter or outraged, Vincent ended her journey astounded—and exhausted—by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity. Having gone where no woman (who wasn't an aspiring or actual transsexual) has gone for any significant length of time, let alone eighteen months, Norah Vincent's surprising account is an enthralling reading experience and a revelatory piece of anecdotally based gender analysis that is sure to spark fierce and fascinating conversation.
Praise for Norah Vincent:
“Norah Vincent is a true freethinker and independent journalist in the European manner, challenging prevailing assumptions in academe, politics, and media. Her work has always had a bold skepticism and energy. She is a model of pragmatic, enlightened feminism.”
—Camille Paglia

How To Destroy A Premise With A Lot of Promise.......2007-09-17
The premise of this book is a good one, however, the author's inability to look past the obvious and superfluous make this book predictable, boring, and even offensive at times. Vincent states the obvious, rarely finding insight into masculinity or what it means to be a man that hasn't already been stated by other people in a much more intelligent way. Instead of breaking stereotypes that women hold about men, it seems to perpetuate them, and all of Vincent's observations seem shallow and simply skim the surface of gender identity.
She does not create sympathy for men, and she creates even less for women. I'm not sure where she found the women that she dated, but they seem like some of the most closed-minded, grudge harboring women with so many pent up issues they should be looking for a therapist instead of a date.
Any other book on gender in our society would be a more insightful, riveting, and intelligent read. Skip this one.
ripped book.......2007-08-29
When the book arrived there was a missing chunk out of the paper cover. I was very disappointed since the review given by the seller said "almost new"
Self self self -- we all need to get over ourselves.......2007-07-03
This book has a great premise -- a woman attempting to live as a man, to gain access to the "secret lives" of men. This could have been a very successful magazine article. As a full-length book, though, it's awash in pseudo-insights that range from maudlin to downright offensive. The author comes up with nothing anybody with half a brain didn't already know: "masculinity" is just as much of a potentially crippling construct as "femininity" is. Big surprise.
The author seems to try hard to empathize with men, but after reading the chapter about the bowling league, I came away with a nagging sense of the author wanting to come out and say, "These poor men. The poor dumb brutes. They just can't help it!" The rest of the book wasn't much better -- in fact it was worse. Especially the chapter about visiting strip clubs, which was so cliched as to be repulsive.
And why on earth would someone in the author's situation -- attempting to do research -- join an Iron John men's group? Or a monastery? That's fringe stuff, and unlikely to give the author a true cross-section of "typical" masculine behavior. Even the jobs the author takes on as a man aren't typical jobs.
The women the author dated while she was posing as a man made me embarrassed to be a woman. I do know women who are like that, but I have to say, they are NOT representative of my experience or of my self.
Probably most telling of all is the delight the author seems to take in the big reveal: "Guess what? I'm really a woman!" I find it amazing that nobody she deceived was hurt to the core. How lucky for the author!
This book is the worst kind of self-serving, quasi-intellectual stuff. I wouldn't call it feminist. I wouldn't even call it humanist. The whole human race looks pretty irredemably messed up after viewing it through this author's eyes.
The delicate interplay of identity, expectations and perceptions.......2007-06-20
When Norah Vincent assumes a masculine disguise as "Ned", she gets far more than an admission ticket to some typical all-male venues. It does not come as a surprise that Ned visits strip clubs, male bonding camps in the woods and athletic groups in addition to inflitrating a monastery and a high octane sales environment. What Ned witnesses as a presumed insider at these events is sometimes disturbing but not totally unexpected. If the book was solely a compendium of the observations of a "secret agent" it would not garner much publicity.
However, what Vincent has accomplished from her 18 month foray into the (largely straight) masculine experience is deeper and more subtle than making firsthand observations that generally align with common stereotypes. For one, she sees evidence that actually goes against the common perception of men as unfeeling and uncaring. She concludes that men do indeed display their own form of nurturing and attuned behavior, but in ways that generally do not register on female radar.
Vincent also gains much insight into the delicate interplay between individual identity as well as societal expectations and perceptions in shaping us. Herein lies the main thrust of the book. Time and again, Vincent witnesses how men and women conspire to keep men in line by relentlessly foisting certain expectations of them and punishing those who do not tow the line. Even as Ned, she observes how the mere act of wearing modern day masculine armor - a business suit - causes her to effortlessly change her body language into one that conveys greater authority. The combination elicits more respect from others - even total strangers - which in turn influences Ned's attitude; even "his" speech patterns become less conciliatory.
Going undercover as Ned also provides Vincent - a somewhat masculinized lesbian - with much fodder to ruminate on the complex interplay between gender identity and sexual orientation. Even with her immersion in the masculine environment and attempts to acquire the attendent mind-set, Vincent cannot fathom the stereotypical male ability to separate love from impersonal lust. The foray into the stripper bar leaves her feeling empty and exhausted, sans any erotic charge. She also notes with some irony that her masculine disguise in fact tends to heighten the feminine aspects of her behavior.
Vincent is carefull to stress that her experiences and observations are subjective and by no means constitute an academic study. The primary message she tries to convey seems to be that she is neither the sole product of an immutable individual identity nor a collection of societal expectations, with the boundaries thereof being vague and fluid. The experimental identity change forces her to be more aware of herself and her surroundings (if only to not trip up on her ruse). But even in this state of heightened self awareness her sense of self as an autonomous entity - as opposed to a set of responses - often becomes murky.
Vincent laments the toll the collective pressures - to be strong, to be stoic, to win - take on the masculine psyche. Indeed at the end of the book she reveals how much the effort involved in maintaining the "Ned" disguise has worn her down. In her case, of course, the assumed persona is more at odds with her authentic self than the front put on by a typical straight biological male. Vincent emerges from her exhausting impersonation with greater compassion towards males and a palpable sense of relief at not having to bear their considerable burdens in her everyday life.
Beautiful, but slow towards the end........2007-06-12
I'm not quite sure what possessed Norah Vincent to live as a man as a cultural experience. I know that she was curious; I just don't really think that she took into consideration the feelings of her "victims" (or herself for that matter.) There must have been some harmful repercussions to her experiment. Hopefully there will be no lasting effects.
Nonetheless, she does have a way with words. This books is beautifully written, if you can get that sick feeling out of your stomach. I really can say that despite the deception, this book deserves three stars. It tends to drown on towards the end.
Book Description
A journalist's provocative and spellbinding account of her eighteen months spent disguised as a man
Norah Vincent became an instant media sensation with the publication of Self-Made Man, her take on just how hard it is to be a man, even in a man's world. Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (Black Like Me), Norah spent a year and a half disguised as her male alter ego, Ned, exploring what men are like when women aren't around. As Ned, she joins a bowling team, takes a high-octane sales job, goes on dates with women (and men), visits strip clubs, and even manages to infiltrate a monastery and a men's therapy group. At once thought- provoking and pure fun to read, Self-Made Man is a sympathetic and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism.

Uneducated and Misguided attmept at Gender Studies.......2007-07-31
Personally, I find the trend towards books in which journalists take on sociological experiments -- notably, Barbara Ehrenrich's "Nickled and Dimed" and this title, "Self-Made Man" -- without a qualified sociological education, human subjects supervision/ethical boundaries, or background in subject-participation research is troubling, to say the least. And this is exactly what Norah Vincent does: she plunges herself into an experiment that she herself acknowledges is dangerous (both to herself and to her subjects), and does so without any apparent background research or training, other than the help of stagehand friends who teach her the basics of costuming. I can't help but think that had she proposed this idea to any accredited board of Human Subject Research Review at an actual research institution, she would never have been allowed (or been given funding) to do it.
Vincent has written a book that undeniably falls into the realm of gender studies -- and even though that is not her stated intent (she wants to write a memoir of her personal experiences), she really has no excuse for not recognizing that she would be unable to escape the temptation to include the social-level commentary and theorizing that she nevertheless fills the book with. So I find it irresponsible that she took on this endeavor, endured the research, and then produced a book about it without doing the appropriate background research into Women's and Gender Studies. Instead, she ends up quoting her recollections from her (self-admitted) 20 year-old bachelor's degree Women's Studies courses, and in doing so GROSSLY misstates the definition of modern feminism, the embodiment (and various embodiments, plural) of the modern feminist, and representative feminist theory. (She credits ideas to Women's Studies that NO self-respecting WS course would EVER espouse.) In the end, the text almost reads as misogynist, which is due just as much to what she leaves out as what she puts in. One of the worst examples of this is when she introduces what she believes to be a self-discovered, revolutionary idea: that men are also negatively affected by the patriarchy -- introducing it as her own idea, even though noted feminist theorist bell hooks introduced that very theory, oh, maybe 30 years ago.
In addition to such specific instances, I found the book to be uneducated and increasingly hypocritical in general -- the author will literally contradict herself between one page and the next; first writing that she's found evidence that gender must have roots in the brain, then on the next page writing about the extremes of learned gender behavior and how such behaviors don't feel natural even to the men who have been enacting them their whole lives. (So which is it -- biological or learned?) What was most annoying was her oft-stated sentiment that she wasn't seeking to write what it was like to be a man (because, even though passing as one, she wasn't -- she hasn't been socialized as a man and didn't really live as one full-time either; she put on Ned as a daily job -- she writes that she often went out in to public as both a man and a woman within the same day), but rather to write how men were treated. In reality, all she did was write about how she _felt_ "being" a man. Especially in the dating section, this was infuriating. One page, she wrote that the men she talked to overwhelmingly approached dating as if women were potentially f**k-able objects -- and then launches into a chapter of how superior-acting the women Ned tried to date were, how cautious and guarded they were, and the severe feelings of rejection Ned faced. Never once does Vincent make the connection that maybe the women acted that way because they'd had experience dating men like Ned interviewed, and that their behavior might be justified on grounds of self-preservation; apart from that, Vincent never conceives of the idea that the women she attempts to date aren't a representative sample, and that maybe internet blind dating -- where the vast majority of her dates came from -- attracted a specific type of dater, and that it might not be fair to characterize what heterosexual dating (as a man) is like on the whole based on her experience. In addition, she again neglects to realize that she is NOT a man, and that men -- who have grown up in male socialization -- might not feel the same wronged feelings of rejection that Norah/Ned does. Vincent also doesn't offer any commentary on how she finds dating to be _different_ compared to her real life -- not just dating as a woman, but also dating in a lesbian context. Her lack of comparison implies that all of the horrors of blind dating that Ned experiences have never been experienced by Norah -- which I find hard to believe.
All in all, I find the book to be fairly poorly written -- she uses way too many gimmicky devices, and her self-impressed theoretical asides are often unclear -- and an immature and uneducated analysis that has great potential to harm Women's and Queer Studies. The focus of her book didn't need to be, "let's pity the 'poor' white men" -- it could have been, this is another reason why patriarchy is inadequate and needs to change.
A fascinating look at men and women.......2007-07-11
I first heard Vincent interviewed on NPR last year, and I made a mental note to read the book. I finally got my hands on it, and was not disappointed. The author is very honest about her experiences, her outlook, and her feelings. I expected the insights into the male animal, and was surprised at the addition of insights into the female creature as well. Even though I'm a woman, I saw my own gender in a new light.
In short, I found the book enthralling, insightful, and enlightening. It was actually a page-turner. I recommend that everyone add it to their reading lists.
okay.......2007-07-03
interesting but repetitive....each situation she encounters she comes away with the same insight, over and over and over again.
Interesting, although a bit strange.......2007-05-20
I am conflicted about what to write in this review. On the one hand, it is a unique story that captivates you from the first page to the last. On the other hand, her esoteric analysis of the experience and the conclusions she draws from it appear far-fetched. I found myself skipping the paragraphs containing all the feminist rhetoric because I was more interested in the actual situations and exchanges she had with men and women, more than her analysis of men in a post-feminist modern world. Overall, an interesting read.
Self-made Man.......2007-04-10
This is a one-of-a-kind book, in that not many people would be able to do what the author did: live in disguise as a man for a year, and also write about it. Very easy to read. Very interesting for a woman to read: the differences in socializing behavior and the toll that that can take are well described. I recommend this for any woman trying to understand men...at work, at home, in a group. I did actually recommend it to a gay fellow who is very sensitive, since I think that he feels the differences in emotional expression (or lack of)in a way similar to many women. I think the book really helped me understand men better, generally speaking. Kudos to the author, who has real courage!

good details.......2007-09-11
This book offers some really good incites on drow life. I liked the feats and the equipment listed. I find it to be a good resource book.
Good deal for a.......2007-06-12
Yhis is a fine deal for a DM with 20 or so dollars in his or her pocket. I reckomend this book for a DM or a player with a DN who will allow his or her players to use this material because, 1 this book is comprehensive and thorough in scope and delivery, 2 has some extraordinary art, 3 is well written with intelligent ideas for DMs who want to add something extremely evil to his or her game, 4 the players who get this book will mainly want it for a few new uses for skills and maybe to play a Drow or to be a thorn in a Drows backside.
I hope this helps you.
Mostly rehashed stuff, little originality.......2007-05-18
Drow of the Underdark had lots of potential. Sadly, it fails to live up to that potential. The book follows the now-standard book format, with an intro, options for Drow characters, new prestige classes, new magic, monsters, etc. Nothing too out of the ordinary here.
The feats include a fair amount of drow-specific feats. Some of these are pretty nice - Knight of Lolth gives a drow advantages while fighting from the back of a giant spider, for instance. The weapon style feats include the typical range of schools (one for each noble house in the Vault). A few more vile feats, and other goodies round the list out. Skills also are expanded to address some drow-specific traits (like the drow sign language).
Prestige classes include some interesting options, and the monsters include creatures both familiar and new. New magical goodies give the drow a lot of fascinating options.
However, the book fails to really live up to expectations. With 200+ pages devoted to a single race, the book contains a lot of filler. There are lots of pages giving GMs ideas of how to handle or run drow. While there are some interesting tidbits here, but a gamer has to do some delving.
The prestige classes include several that are drow-specific that shouldn't be. If the Arachnomancer isn't drow-specific, why should a Demonbinder or Insidious Corrupter be?
The monster section is a disappointment. Aside from using the new monster format, complete with sample encounters, many of the monsters are either reprints, or worse yet, simply adding class levels to drow or other humanoids. I would much rather see more fascinating monsters than a "Goblin Flesh-Herder" (goblin Cleric 3).
Sadly missing is any discussion of the other deities of the drow (outside of Lolth). Eilistraee, Vhaerun, and Kiaransalee should have been included somewhere, even if they were originally deities in the Forgotten Realms. The prospects of secret clerical politics and cults could have added a lot.
Also missing is much about some of the underground flora and fauna. How about alternative familiars for drow mages (pet Spider: +3 climb)? Properties of some of the weird fungi? Drow are attracted to magical enamations underground - it would have been nice to explore some of the other effects of such places.
If you want to run a drow campaign, this can be useful. The 2nd edition Drow of the Underdark contains a lot of useful material too - probably more meaty material in a small book. But this book devoted 200+ pages to a single race - compare that to the coverage the remaining elven races received in Races of the Wild. This book should have been condensed as a large chapter in a Races of the Underdark book.
How Can They Be So Cruel Yet So Awesome?.......2007-05-15
When you finish the chapter that's all about Drow life and society and their "government" that's exactly what you think, how can they be so cruel yet so awesome. Every Forgotten Realms book, every game book to feature them, it's all been as nothing, how they describe drow and the evil that they do. Their methods of battle, their matriarchal society, everything is laid bare, and by the time you're done, you're like "Well, dang. And I play these critters in my campaign." I'm not even going to get into any of it, it's horrible and fascinating, and there's not enough room on this web page for to even scratch the surface. The only real complaints I have with this book is that some of the new equipment seems kinda rediculous at first glance, til you actually read about it, and the almost overabundance of images of spiders, being an arachnophobe of the highest caliber, I can't even bring myself to touch a picture of a spider, let alone crush a real one with my bare hand, but then again, this is a book about DROW, who revere spiders, so I'm just going to have to deal with it. At any rate, despite what one person says, this isn't solely for Greyhawk, it can be used in a Forgotten Realms campaign, too. I, myself, am going to, and I already have major plans to milk this baby for all it's worth. Now, what the person who said this is solely for Greyhawk failed to see was the notes on how to work certain aspects of this book into a Forgotten Realms campaign or a Greyhawk campaign, I think namely the monsters, but the rest can definitely go into a Forgotten Realms camp flawlessly if the DM is smart enough, and I should think anyone acting as the DM would be smart enough.
You think you know a Drow...........2007-05-15
....until you read this book. I once thought of the Drow as nothing more than a stereotypical evil race hell-bent on the destruction of everything and everyone. Man, was I wrong. Upon reading through this book I was completely astounded to discover there was so much more complexity behind the sinister veil of Lolth's children.
So forget the older versions or the d20 releases this is without a doubt THE compendium on the Drow. Anything you could possibly want to know about the dark elves can be found within these pages. Drow of the Underdark covers everything from religion, culture, so-called politics, social quo, daily life, behavior, history, plots, and overall mentality of the Drow. Also provided are gracious options for playing Drow as characters, offering new spells, feats, magical items, and prestige classes for all you evil little elves out there. (The poisons are just plain cool!) The examples of specific notable Drow figures (sadly no Drizzit) are a nice touch if you're planning on creating your own temple of Lolth or Matron Mother. Not slowing down there are also options for designing specific quests and locations, provided of course you're planning to delve into the world of the Underdark's most nefarious race.
One reviewer mentioned this is a substitute for Greyhawk. I don't see where that came from, if anything Drow of the Underdark succeeds in remaining neutral toward all D&D based games. True those playing Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk based campaigns will see the most use for this book it can be easily adjusted for any campaign.
Bottom line; if you're planning on having Drow in your campaign or even if you are just curious about what dark things do in dark places, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!!

Must Have for Underdark DM.......2006-03-15
This is by far the most detailed resource book ever about drow that I have found besides just reading the novels. It is very enjoyable to read if you are a drow fan or a underdark DM, or simply wish to have a basis on how to rp your drow. I use it as a bible when it comes to my players bickering on how drow are and what this book says is final as far as I am concerned. If you do not give this book 5 stars I suggest you look at yourself and ask how anal you really are. If you can find a better resource book please let me know. So far this is the winner in my opinion.

AN EXCELLENT BOOK THAT GIVES SOMEONE THAT IS NEW A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND BACK GROUND OF THE DROW UNDERWORLD
This was, sadly, a disappointment..........2001-10-31
When I finally got this book and found out that it doesn't exactly have everything you need to know about the drow in it, I was really disappointed. What really bothered me was that it starts out in a kind of narrative, story format rather than a scientific, "factual" treatise. It does give info on the drow pantheon and its unique spells, but then so does Demihuman Deities. It's also got stuff on specific drow-associated monsters, but then so does the Monster Manual. There's a little on drow architecture, religion, and culture, but nothing extraordinarily revealing. It does have this nice (but small) Drow-Common dictionary but there's still so much drow lingo that I can't piece together any sense of. The reference's got nothing specific about things such as drow child-bearing and -raising, everyday life, and common practices. We know that the important things they do is worship Lolth, scheme, and murder, but what do they do in the meantime when they *aren't* acting out of ambition, anger, or lust? What food, sport, or fashion-style are they fond of? What of the lives and fate of the inevitable half-drow? Still, I have to recommend this book if you want to read stuff on the drow because it's the only one out there that has so much relating to them in one compilation.
Great book even if you don't play Underdark.......2000-07-28
This is the best D&D rules supplement I have ever purchased. It contains so much information about the drow (dark) elves. It talks about their religion, their language, and a sect of drow that are good aligned. If you have any interest in ever including drow in your campaign this is the book for you. I use the drow- english dictionary in it all the time. It makes interesting puzzles for my PCs. Even when I am not playing D&D I use this book; it has some cool drow names that I like to use as names for some of my MUD characters. Without a doubt this is the most useful D&D book I own short of the Monsters Manual.
A must for all players and DMs of the Underdark.......2000-04-10
A detailed journey through the drow world. The Drow of the Underdark is perhaps the only book which will give you precise details and also a lot of aid in creating a drow PC or NPC. Going through everything from drow history to magical items, the Drow of the Underdark is a must for all players. It's adaptability is unmatched yet, and is useable by all players.
Better yet, it has a cover unlike many of the other Forgotten Realms expansions. A black paperback cover inlaid with gold.
