Reinventing Khomeini The Struggle for Reform in Iran

Reinventing Khomeinioffers a new interpretation of the political battles for reform in Iran. Daniel Brumberg argues that these conflicts did not result from a sudden ideological shift; nor did the election of President Mohammad Khatami in 1997 defy the core principles of the Islamic Revolution. To the contrary, the struggle for a more democratic Iran can be traced to the revolution itself, and to the contradictory agendas of the revolution's founding father, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.Daniel Brumberg is the author of 'Reinventing Khomeini The Struggle for Reform in Iran', published 2001 under ISBN 9780226077574 and ISBN 0226077578.
