Most observers of Iran viewed the Green Uprisings of 2009 as a
'failed revolution', with many Iranians and those in neighbouring
Arab countries agreeing. In Contesting the Iranian Revolution,
however, Pouya Alimagham re-examines this evaluation,
deconstructing the conventional win-lose binary interpretations in
a way which underscores the subtle but important victories on the
ground, and reveals how Iran's modern history imbues those triumphs
with consequential meaning. Focusing on the men and women who made
this dynamic history, and who exist at the centre of these
contentious politics, this 'history from below' brings to the fore
the post-Islamist discursive assault on the government's symbols of
legitimation. From powerful symbols rooted in Shi'ite Islam,
Palestinian liberation, and the Iranian Revolution, Alimagham
harnesses the wider history of Iran and the Middle East to
highlight how activists contested the Islamic Republic's legitimacy
to its very core.
