What began as a  series of mass protests over the official results of a presidential  election—engendering the slogan “Where is My Vote?”—has grown into  something much larger, indeed the largest political protest since the  1979 revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Green Movement has been described as “an Iranian intifada,” a  “great emancipatory event,” a “grassroots civil rights movement a  century in the making,” and “something quite extraordinary, perhaps even  a social revolution.” What are the movement’s aims—are they  revolutionary, reformist, or something else altogether? Does it have a  chance of fundamentally changing Iranian politics or removing president  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from office?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis momentous anthology explores these critical questions and others  by assembling the key statements, communiqués, manifestos, interviews,  and debates to have emerged from this vibrant social movement—many of  which are translated and published here for the first time. This  indispensable volume is the first to bring together the leading voices  and key players in Iran’s Green Movement, providing an intellectual and  political road map to this turning point in Iran’s history and a vital  resource for the study of Iran, social movements, and the future of the  Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Melville House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148213731568,"sku":"9781612190211","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612190211_p0.jpg?v=1763847379","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612190211","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
