While Ayatollah Khomeini is considered the face of the Islamic
Revolution of Iran in 1979, 'Ali Shari'ati is considered a much
greater influence on shaping the revolutionary consciousness than
Khomeini. Acceptable to both modernists as well as Islamists,
Shari'ati's radicalism inspired much of the resistance in urban
Iran in the closing years of the Shah. "'Ali Shari'ati and the
Shaping of Political Islam in Iran" tells the story of how
Shari'ati developed a language of political Islam, speaking in an
idiom intelligible to the Iranian public, and subverting the Shah's
regime and its claim to legitimacy.
