Since the Islamic revolutionary movement overthrew the "Peacock
Throne" (the Shah) in 1979 the Islamic Republic has maintained its
credibility and the loyalty of the people of Iran. It has survived
an extremely destructive war with Iraq, isolation from the West and
the rest of the Middle East except Syria, and the death of the
Ayaltollah Khomeini. This book explores the social transformation
of Iran in this period stressing the importance of political
culture and ideology. It argues that the systematic building of a
legitimate Islamic political culture is the key to the success of
the regime. The authors of the book address specific aspects of
Iran's political culture within a general theoretical framework
laid out in the introduction. There is discussion of a wide range
of topics ranging from the relationship of the individual to
society to "Westoxication", from Shi'ism to the Islamisation of
film culture.
