Episode notes

What was komani's concept of clerical rule or or rule of the islamic juris just how novel was it given the quietest and monarchist history of the iranian clergy. And then what role did a particular gender order play in komani’s theory of islamic role so yeah that that 1953 legacy plays out in a lot of really important ways here. The basic argument very basically put is sharia law in order to execute sharia law you have to have a state sharia law.

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.
