Editorial Reviews
Choice
Focusing on the immediate prerevolutionary period and the first decade of the Islamic Republic, Bayat discusses the economic and political strategies of ordinary' [Iranian] people, mainly in Tehran. . . . He demonstrates that, for these people at least, the populist revolution did not bring about the changes that they needed or wanted.
Richard Bulliet Columbia University
Bayat uses sources no one else has ever brought together for the purpose of studying the revolution, and he adds to them both his personal observations and uncommon sensitivity born of his own family background among the 'deprived.' The result illuminates the Iranian revolution while raising questions as to our understanding of underclass movements around the world.
