Gollnar Nickpour is a professor of history at Dartmouth College with an interest in histories of law, incarceration and rights in modern Iran. She is currently finishing her first book project: A history of Iranian prisons and carcerality in a global context. We closed out the last episode discussing the 1953 US British joint coup against Muhammad Mosidek which reinstalled the Shah Muhammad Reza Palavi.
Featuring Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran. This is the third episode in our four-part series. We pick up in the wake of the US-British 1953 coup against Mossadegh, assess the Shah's repression and attempts to manufacture consent through passive revolution, and then close by laying out the 1979 Islamic Revolution in all of its wild complexity.
