description: "Seyyed Jalāl Āl-e-Ahmad was a prominent Iranian novelist, short-story writer, translator, philosopher, socio-political critic, sociologist, as well as an anthropologist who was \"one of the earliest and most prominent of contemporary Iranian ethnographers\". He popularized the term gharbzadegi — variously translated in English as \"westernstruck\", \"westoxification\", and \"Occidentosis\" — producing a holistic ideological critique of the West \"which combined strong themes of Frantz Fanon and Marx\"."
