Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349232467
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
'...her short analysis of the Iranian armed forces in the 1980s is first-rate, so too is her much more substantial section on women and the state in Iran...As well as offering useful insights into the workings of the Islamic state in Iran, this readable book also provides a warning of the struggles ahead in many other Muslim societies.' - Anoushiravan Ehteshami, Times Higher Education Supplement ;Islam has been the driving force shaping the ideology and the power base of the Iranian revolution. This volume engages critically with the Islamic perspective and promises offered by the revolution. Looking at the rise of the religious institution as a revolutionary force, the author observes their post-revolutionary policies in the domains of politics, economics, education, the armed forces and women's status. In the event, the volume demonstrates that the Iranian government has failed to deliver on most, if not all, of its Islamic pledges.

Ali Shariati
Author: Ryland Witzler
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Intellectuals
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was a defining moment in the history of both the Middle East and the discipline of Religious Studies. Though attempts have been made to portray the Revolution as purely Islamic in essence, a closer look at the ideology of faith-based politics in Cold War era Iran leaves us with a more complicated picture. A pivotal part of that picture is found in the life and work of Iranian philosopher, social organizer and theologian Ali Shariati, whose pioneering efforts introduced thousands of young Iranians to the works of Karl Marx, Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara and Jean Paul Sartre. Shariati's importing of Western political theory into the Iranian context will be examined here as a major catalyst for the events of 1979 and beyond in the region. Shariati's work as both an anti-colonialist scholar and as a devout Shi'ite Muslim led to the creation of a new ideology of Islamic Revolution termed Red Shi'ism and essential to the overthrow of Shah Reza Pahlavi and the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran that exists to this day.

Diverging Approaches of Political Islamic Thought in Iran since the 1960s
Author: Seyed Mohammad Lolaki
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811504784
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
This book argues that Political Islam in the Iranian context evolved into three main schools of thought during the 1960s and 1970s: Jurisprudential Islam led by Ayatollah Khomeini, Leftist Islam led by Shariati, and Liberal Islam led by Bazargan. Despite the fact that all schools seek an Islamic state, their chosen methods and philosophical approaches diverge considerably. The synthesis of these three contrasting socio-political views is structured here to provide a coherent interpretation by means of ongoing comparison. This method has so far not been presented in academic studies within the field of Political Islam. Furthermore, this book provides a critical analysis of the aforementioned ‘Political Islam’ schools in Iran, their similarities and differences, relative success or failure, their contribution to the revolution of 1979 and how they have evolved from the pre-revolution era to the present.

Islamism and Post-Islamism in Iran
Author: Yadullah Shahibzadeh
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137578254
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This book is a study of overlooked themes in Iran’s contemporary political and intellectual history. It investigates the way Iranian Muslim intellectuals have discussed politics and democracy. As a history of Iranian Islamism and its transformation to post-Islamism, this work demonstrates that Muslim intellectuals have enriched the Iranian society epistemologically, aesthetically, ethically, and politically. This book examines the internal conflicts of the Islamist ideology as the intellectual underpinnings of the 1979 Revolution, its contribution to the formation of the post-revolutionary state, and the post-Islamist response to the democratic deficits of the post-revolutionary state. Seeking to overcome the shortcomings of historiographical approaches, this book demonstrates the intellectual and political agency of Muslim intellectuals from the 1960s to the present.
