- Book Synopsis
- Following the 1953 coup that toppled the democratically elected government of Mossadeq and restored the rule of the Shah in Iran, Mostafa Sho'aiyan became a key figure on the country's militant left. From a life underground he contributed significantly to the study of Iranian history and politics, and developed a unique theory of revolution. A Rebel's Journey provides fascinating insights into the life and work of this singular theoretician. Peyman Vahabzadeh sets Sho'aiyan's thought in the context of his time and place, and explores how his revolutionary theory might contribute to today's expanding movements for social justice and liberation.
