From the rise of constitutionalism during the rule of despotic
Qajars, foreign invasions, the Pahlavi regimes’ destructive
politics, economic, cultural and social modernization efforts and
the oil nationalization movement, to the Iranian Revolution, its
high hopes, broken promises, repression and intolerance causing
national discontent and another socio-political upheaval today, the
history of modern Iran has been eventful, unstable and turbulent.
In this textbook, Ali Rahnema draws on his experience teaching and
researching on modern Iran to render one hundred years of modern
Iranian politics and history into easy-to-follow episodic chapters.
Step by step, and taking a chronological approach, students are
given the core information, analysis, and critical assessment to
understand the flow of contemporary Iranian history. This is a
comprehensive and exhaustive guide for undergraduate and graduate
level courses on modern Iranian history and politics. The textbook
is complete with the following pedagogical features: * An initial
chapter on how to study Iranian history and how to approach
historiography * Images of key individuals discussed in each
chapter * Text boxes throughout to highlight key episodes,
concepts, and ideas *Three types of exam questions; factual and
analytical, seminar, and discussion at the end of each chapter *
Glossaries at the end of each chapter *A comprehensive timeline
Topics covered include: party formations; the flourishing of the
press; the expansion or reduction of political and civil rights;
repression and human right abuses; foreign intervention and
influence; obsessions over conspiracies; the influence of Western
ideologies, the role of nationalism, cultural and historical
Persian chauvinism; and Shi’i Islam and competing Shiisms.
