In his case study of the 1979 Islamic revolution, Salehi discusses the role of culture and religion in a modern society. The author examines Shi'ism as a vehicle of political activism and dissent and provides an insider's view of events leading to the 1979 Iranian revolution. . . . The author suggests that modernization theory and single-factor causes of revolution be examined in a holistic manner. . . . Salehi explains that this approach neither ignores nor discounts the significance of facts. The book provides an interesting perspective on the psychological undercurrents of life in an oppressive society. A rich source of information on the Islamic revolution. Choice

The Iranian middle class played a historical role in steering Iran into the revolution of 1978. This volume traces the ideological content of the revolution, as well as the cultural and political outlooks that forced mass support in different segments of the Iranian middle class. Salehi asserts that potential existed in Iranian society for the outbreak of revolution long before 1978. He addresses the basic question of why the revolution of 1978-79 triumphed with the Shiia clergymen playing a leading role--and ties together the psychological, cultural, and religious roots of the resolution with class theory. The author's analysis of personalities, events, religion, class theory, and cultural theory should serve as the model not only in the study of Iran, but can extend to the analyses of other internal uprisings in the Middle East.

M.M. Salehi was a member of the faculty of sociology at the National University of Iran for more than a decade. In Iran he published a number of sociology textbooks and papers. He was also active in team research on industrial studies and planning for the country. Recently, he came to the United States. He is currently advancing his quantitative knowledge and skills for social research and at the same time is finalizing reports of some of the social studies he had undertaken in Iran. He holds an engineering degree from Purdue University and a PhD in sociology from the Michigan State University. He has taught sociology at a number of American universities.
