In the past twenty-five years Iran has experienced a revolution and
a turbulent post revolutionary period under an Islamic state that
declared itself the government of the oppressed while it struggled
to establish a utopian Islamic economy. In this pioneering work
Farhad Nomani and Sohrab Behdad provide a comprehensive analysis of
the dynamics of change and class configuration in Iranian society.
Using a theoretical framework, they map the trajectory of class
changes over time, specifically noting the movements between pre
revolutionary and post revolutionary Iran. A centerpiece of the
book is its analysis of the changes in the pattern of employment of
women in the post revolutionary period. Despite its conceptual and
quantitative approach, the book is written in a clear and lucid
style, making it accessible to a wide audience. The authors provide
a fresh look into Iranian society by exploring the changes in its
essential underlying economic structure, and in doing so, the book
lays the foundation for comparative studies of social hierarchy of
labor in other Middle Eastern countries.
