A Century of Revolution: Social Movements in Iran (Social Movements, Protest, and Contention, Vol 2) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A collection of essays by a group of Iran specialists. The authors are familiar with current debates about revolutions, social movements and social change, as well as committed to detailed historical analysis. This advanced introduction to Iranian social movements is written for non-specialists as well as for scholars of the Middle East and Iran. It provides case-study material for the development of social movements theory, and throws considerable light on the evolution of a succession of movements which have had increasing significance for international political stability and social order. The contributors are leading social scientists and historians, most of them Iranian in origin, who examine and explain the historical, social, and political developments leading up to the Iranian revolution. They offer considerable insight into the critical moments in Iranian social history, and into the widely watched but poorly understood, phenomenon of present-day Iran. John Foran and the contributors provide an essential work for the comparative study of revolution and social movements, which will have strong appeal to researchers and students in political sociology, comparative politics, international relations and 20th-century history. This book is intended for library markets within political sociology, comparative politics, history, international relations, for specialists in Iran and the Middle East, and for postgraduate and academic researchers.
