The dominant narrative of Iranian society and politics heralds the
reformist movement as the epitome of Iran's transition to
secularity, while conservative political forces are positioned as
advocates of Islamization and a bulwark against secularization.
Examining all the presidential elections since the revolution,
Mahmoud Pargoo and Shahram Akbarzadeh argue that in contrast,
political and cultural imagination and expectations in Iran have
actually secularized regardless of the reformist/conservative
divide. Exploring the evolution of campaign discourses from the
1980s elections which brought Abolhassan Banisadr, Mohammad-Ali
Rajai and Ali Khamenei to power, to the more recent campaigns of
Mohamad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Rouhani, this book
suggests that current debates in Iranian domestic politics are not
between secularists and their opponents, but rather, between
different kinds of secular forces.
