Mostafa Sho'aiyan (1936 1975) was a leading Marxist intellectual in
twentieth-century Iran and a prolific author of theory, history,
fiction and poetry. In an era of repressive politics following the 1953
coup that toppled the democratically elected government of Mossadeq and
restored the rule of the Shah, he became a key figure on the militant
left. From a life underground Sho'aiyan contributed significantly to
the study of Iranian history and politics, and developed a unique
theory of revolution one specific to Iran and yet also international in
reach.
With A Rebel s Journey, Peyman Vahabzadeh provides the first
intellectual biography of this singular theoretician, offering
fascinating insights into his life and work. Vahabzadeh not only sets
Sho'aiyan s thought in the context of their time and place, but offers
an ambitious reconstruction of his revolutionary theory for the
twenty-first century, setting out how it might contribute to today s
expanding movements for social justice and liberation.
