Recent Iranian history has been full of unexpected turns. Whether it was the 1979 revolution, the rise to power of the reformist movement in 1997, or the emergence of the Green Movement in June 2009, the world was taken unawares at every juncture. This book brings together essays that both speculate on the import of the developments of 2009 and also shed light on the complexities and the ever-changing dynamics of post-revolutionary Iran.
