The Iranian Constitutional Revolution or Taxes and Business Strategy

The Iranian Constitutional Revolution: Grassroots Democracy, Social Democracy, and the Origins of Feminism

Author: Janet Afary

During the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906 to 1911 a variety of forces played key roles in overthrowing a repressive regime. Afary sheds new light on the role of ordinary citizens and peasantry, the status of Iranian women, and the multifaceted structure of Iranian society.

Adds significantly to the recent body of excellent work on the important and exciting story of Iran's first twentieth-century revolution. Particularly in her discussion of neglected groups and classes, including women, peasants, and workers, Afary sheds major new light on their role in this epochal event, an event which is key to the understanding of twentieth-century Iranian and world history. (Nikki Keddie,, University of California, Los Angeles)

A thoroughly researched and highly detailed account of the formation of Iran´s first constitution, ratified on December 30, 1906, just a week before the death of Muzffar al-Din Shah. (Choice)
