Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...this book is a must read, indeed an eye opener, for all, including those misguided left-leaning (populist) activists who regrettably believe that the government of the Islamic Republic in Iran is anti-imperialist and thus worthy of their moral support. Bon appétit!" -- Review of Radical Political Economics

"Yaghmaian's book is a captivating eyewitness account, told by a knowledgeable insider ... While explaining the many shortcomings of the revolution, the author makes no false pretense to hold the answers ... Instead, he focuses on everyday struggles and lets the voices of ordinary citizens speak ... This is a book that deserves to be widely read." -- Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations

"Social Change in Iran is quite unique and modern. It explains the pace of rapidly changing events taking place in Iran, by sifting through the concerns, hopes, and dreams of a people. This book makes a powerful and passionate statement that at the same time enables the reader to recognize the key players and events shaping the new Iranian polity and society." -- Henri Lustiger-Thaler, coeditor of Artful Practices: The Political Economy of Everyday Life

"Yaghmaian's work is timely and lively, dealing with a significant topic that has not yet been analyzed in English--the new generation in Iran." -- Ervand Abrahamian, author of Tortured Confessions: Prisons and Public Recantations in Modern Iran
