<b>A definitive collection of essays and documents on the movement behind Iran's mass protests</b><br><br>Since June of 2009, the Islamic Republic of Iran has seen the most dramatic political upheaval in its three decades of rule. What began as a series of mass protests over the official results of a presidential election&mdash;engendering the slogan &ldquo;Where is My Vote?&rdquo;&mdash;has grown into something much larger, indeed the largest political protest since the 1979 revolution.<br><br> The Green Movement has been described as &ldquo;an Iranian intifada,&rdquo; a &ldquo;great emancipatory event,&rdquo; a &ldquo;grassroots civil rights movement a century in the making,&rdquo; and &ldquo;something quite extraordinary, perhaps even a social revolution.&rdquo; What are the movement&rsquo;s aims&mdash;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?<br> <br>This 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&mdash;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&rsquo;s Green Movement, providing an intellectual and political road map to this turning point in Iran&rsquo;s history and a vital resource for the study of Iran, social movements, and the future of the Middle East.
