“The Shah and the Quiet Revolution” - Part 23 of the Roqe Media series, The Contemporary History of Iran. What exactly are the roots of the anti-modernist movement in Iran? How might we assess the seeds of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 far before the late-1970s? And in what way were the Pahlavis unwittingly complicit in the revolution that dethroned them? Iranian-American sociologist, political scientist, and author of the recent book, “Iran’s Quiet Revolution: The Downfall of the Pahlavi State,” Dr. Ali Mirsepassi, Director of the Iranian Studies Initiative at New York University, joins Jian Ghomeshi from New York to discuss his fascinating thesis that it was, in fact, a convergence of anti-modern, spiritual and nativist discourse in both the Islamist revolutionary movement AND the Pahlavi state that created the conditions for the overthrow of the Shah in ’79.
