Seyyed Jalāl Āl-e-Ahmad (Persian: جلال آلاحمد; December 2, 1923 – September 9, 1969) was a prominent Iranian novelist, short-story writer, translator, philosopher,[1] socio-political critic, sociologist,[2] as well as an anthropologist who was "one of the earliest and most prominent of contemporary Iranian ethnographers".[3] He popularized the term gharbzadegi – variously translated in English as "westernstruck", "westoxification", and "Occidentosis" – [4] producing a holistic ideological critique of the West "which combined strong themes of Frantz Fanon and Marx".[5]
