This book analyses the distant and proximate causes of the 1978
revolution in Iran as well as the dynamics of power which it set in
motion. The volume explains the complex and far-reaching processes
which produced the revolution, beginning in the late nineteenth
century. In explaining the more proximate causes of the revolution,
the book analyses the nature of the old regime and its internal
contradictions; the emergence of some fundamental conflicts of
interest between the state and the upper class; the economic crisis
of 1975-8 which made possible a revolutionary mass immobilisation;
and the emergence of a new religious interpretation of political
authority and the unusual spread of the ideology of political Islam
among a segment of the modern intelligentsia. The volume relates
the diverse aspects of class, ideology and economic structure in
order to provide an understanding of the political processes.
