"Most observers of Iran viewed the Green Uprisings of 2009 as a 'failed revolution',
with many Iranians and those in neighbouring Arab countries agreeing. In Contesting
the Iranian Revolution, however, Pouya Alimagham re-examines this evaluation, deconstructing
the conventional winlose binary interpretations in a way which underscores the subtle
but important victories on the ground, and reveals how Iran's modern history imbues
those triumphs with consequential meaning. Focusing on the men and women who made
this dynamic history, and who exist at the centre of these contentious politics, this
'history from below' brings to the fore the post-Islamist discursive assault on the
government's symbols of legitimation. From powerful symbols rooted in Shi'ite Islam,
Palestinian liberation, and the Iranian Revolution, Alimagham harnesses the wider
history of Iran and the Middle East to highlight how activists contested the Islamic
Republic's legitimacy to its very core"
