The Characteristics of National Awareness in Sadid's Itinerary

Mohammad Ali Sadid –al- Saltaneh Kiyayi is a historian, poet, writer and researcher of the Southern Iran. All the researchers in the field of Persian Gulf, Hormozgan and Boushehr, whether inside or outside Iran, make reference to his works. Yet, a thorough and methodical investigation of his works is a job that has not been undertaken up to now. Taking the recent establishment of academic majors entitled Persian Gulf Studies into consideration a methodical investigation of Sadid’s ideas seems to be a task to be done. Accordingly, a revisionary re-reading of his works is of utmost importance and essentiality. The present study in the first step presents a content analysis on Sadid’s itinerary and makes references to the secondary resources written about his works. It then continues to criticize part of his daily notes and itinerary. The results indicate that Sadid’s work is a combination of dynamic national awareness with modern characteristics, which have been endowed to his ideas and texts via the Constitutional (Mashruteh) dialogue.
