Land Reform and the White Revolution in Iran, Golnar

Golnar: What was the Shah's program for building what he called a great civilization in Iran? How did it simultaneously and seemingly pretty contradictory draw on left wing ideas while also being above all else a tool to preempt the left? And then lastly, how did these efforts to manufacture consent relate to that entire project of repressive institution building that we've been discussing? Golnar: One response is repression. But another as you just began to lay out was the attempt to construct an image of the Shah as a more legitimate sort of nationalist leader,. someone like Nasser.
