The Green Movement in Iran contains Hamid Dabashi's most important
writings on the Iran's June 2009 election, its tumultuous
aftermath, and the characteristics and aspirations of the emerging
Green Movement. These analyses range from close analysis of the
nature of the events to the Green Movement's historical background
and future political consequences. The writings have been modified
and updated for book publication. The volume presents Dabashi's
account of the events since June 12, 2009--the Election Day
itself--and his recap of highlights of the build-up period to the
mass protests. He provides insightful background for events on the
ground, dealing with debates about the credibility of the election.
He then discusses political continuity in Iran, as well as the
characteristics of the Green Movement. Dabashi argues that the
reaction of the custodians of the Islamic Republic to the charge of
the election being a fraud only affirms its lost legitimacy, and
casts the system as being neither "Islamic" nor a "republic."
Dabashi also comments on U.S. politics and its relations to Iran
and the Green Movement, pointing out shortcomings in American media
culture. The role of the Iranian opposition in the Green Movement
and American political policies, the political and economic
consequence of the U.S. sanctions against Iran, and the way these
may be interpreted by Iranian society are all viewed from an
enlightening perspective. Dabashi argues that the Iranian regime,
suffering deeply from legitimacy issues, makes use of its
bureaucratic, economic, and political leverage to stage a show of
support and project division among the people.
