A common weakness of many current dominant theories of revolution,
argues author Mansoor Moaddel, is their exclusion of the role of
ideology. He examines the Iranian revolution, highlighting class
politics and contention for power within the context of changing
the ideological relation between the state and civil society. In
Moaddel's analytical framework, class politics and the state's
action play crucial roles in the genesis of the Iranian Revolution.
The state-patterned class conflict defined the identity of the
opposition and channeled oppositional activities through the medium
of religion. The revolutionary crisis began when the social
discontent was expressed in terms of Shi'i revolutionary discourse.
Moaddel argues that Shi'i revolutionary ideology was produced by
diverse ideologues to address the problems they faced in the
post-coup (1953) period. In presenting his argument, Moaddel
provides a new and useful interpretation of the revolution in Iran,
characterizing the postrevolutionary political order as a
Third-World variant of fascism.
