Social Change in Iran is an inquiry into the recent changes
in Iran, blending scholarly analysis, eyewitness accounts,
and the author's personal experiences. It tells the stories
of everyday people, be it young men and women challenging
the cultural and social mandates of the Islamic Republic, or
workers toiling at multiple jobs to overcome harsh economic
realities. This passionate homage to the people of Iran as
told by a native is a glimpse into the human feelings and
aspirations of a people subjected to varying forms of
violence at home and widespread misunderstanding abroad. At
the same time Yaghmaian provides an informed analysis of the
widening political divide within the state, and the
emergence of a movement for reform, both of which have
shaken the seemingly indisputable foundations of the Islamic
Republic.
