Iran: From religious dispute to revolution

---

Few episodes in the history of the Near East have been more difficult to comprehend than the recent revolution in Iran. The opacity of these events stems less from political complications than from the sense that the social aspirations and political ideals of the movement which felled the Shah are deeply embedded in a cultural and religious logic that defies Western understanding.rn​Iran is the first book to appear since the revolution which makes a serious attempt to decode Shi'ite culture and belief in a way that reveals its explosive political implications. Unlike much of the instant analysis appearing at the time of the crisis, Michael Fischer's book is based upon extensive fieldwork carried out in Iran before the revolution. Anthropologist Fischer's rich experience with the mullahs and their students in the holy city of Qum permits him to compose a picture of Iranian society from the inside—the lives of ordinary people, the way that each class interprets Islam; the role of religion and religious education in the culture. The result is a dynamic view of a society on the verge of metamorphosis—a book that should be read by anyone who would understand contemporary Iran
