While the world keeps its eyes riveted on Iran's nuclear programme,
the Islamic Republic has gone through a crisis of its own. This
book shows how soaring unemployment and poverty has given way to
social protest. A new labour movement has come to the fore.
Although strikes are banned, workers are beginning to organise and
underground networks are challenging the rule of the mullahs from
within. The authors offer a unique portrait of the social upheaval,
why it is happening and where it may take the country. Following
the fall of reformism, the rise of Ahmadinejad and the recent
outbursts of ethnic violence, this book provides rare insights into
the inner contradictions of the Islamic Republic. The second part
of the book deals with the international issues facing Iran - in
particular the nuclear question, Iran's oil reserves and the
serious threat of invasion. It is a sobering account of the
realities of life in Iran, and the threat that war poses to the
democratic aspirations of the Iranian people.
