This book challenges these assumptions and constructs a new synthesis of the history of state and religion in Iran from 1796 to the present while challenging existing theories of large-scale political transformation.
Two basic assumptions have shaped our understanding of recent Iranian history. One is that Shi''ism is an integral part of Iran''s religious and cultural landscape. The other is that the ulama (religious scholars) have always played a crucial role. This book challenges these assumptions and constructs a new synthesis of the history of state and religion since 1796 to the present while engaging our theoretical understanding of large-scale political transformations. Arguing that the 1979 revolution has not ended, Behrooz Moazami relates political and religious transformations in Iran to the larger instability of the region and concludes that turmoil will continue until a new regional configuration evolves.
