This special issue of "Radical History Review" marks the thirtieth
anniversary of the Iranian revolution, an event that reverberated
across the globe, causing rifts and realignments in international
relations, as well as radical changes in Iranian political, social,
and cultural institutions. The Iranian revolution of 1979 was a
historical inevitability neither in its inception nor in its
outcome; however, its continued domestic and global significance -
often misunderstood and misinterpreted - remains indisputable. The
issue explores the complex and evolving nature of the
post-revolutionary dynamics in Iran and calls for renewed
reflection on the roots of the revolution, the processes leading to
its proponents' victory, and its impact on the Muslim world and the
global balance of power. The articles in this interdisciplinary
issue take up the legacy of the revolution within and outside the
borders of Iran and offer critical evaluation and new insights into
the transformations that Iran experienced as a result of the
revolution. One essay discusses the role of the crowd in the
revolution, while another traces the genealogy of the discourse of
anti-Zionism in Iranian circles. Other articles explore the
treatment of the revolution in the Egyptian press and illustrate
how the trauma of the revolution is portrayed in diasporic Iranian
women's biographies. The issue also features a "Reflections"
section, which includes eight short essays that provide snapshots
of postrevolutionary politics, economics, literature, cinema, and
visual arts, demonstrating both radical changes and continuities in
Iranian society. Contributors include Ervand Abrahamian, Mahdi
