Omar Khayyam: Deorientalized and Retranslated. M. Kamiar. Mountain ViewWorld Class Educational Entertainment, 2022. 294 p. ISBN: 979-8843721077.

This is a (Re)translation of Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat from its original Farsi into English more faithfully, making sure the connotation, inferences, and meanings of the verses penned by Omar Khayyam in Farsi are maintained. In the process of writing about the Orientalist approach of Edward FitzGerald’s original translation, the Racist Orientalists’ role in destroying the Orient was explained. In the heat of the summer of 2020, most people in the world had to face the two pandemics of COVID-19 and racial hate crimes committed by the supremacists.
