Soldiers, Shahs and Subalterns in Iran: Opposition, Protest and Revolt, 1921-1941

By Stephanie Cronin

Book Overview

Against conventional views of the unchallenged hegemony of a modernizing monarchy, this book argues that power was continuously contested in Riza Shah's Iran. Cronin excavates the successive challenges to Riza Shah's regime posed by a range of subaltern social groups and seeks to restore to these groups a sense of their historical agency.
