Despite the relative calm in Iran today, there is unmistakable evidence of political, social, and cultural ferment stirring beneath the surface. The authors of Politics and Culture in Contemporary Iran-a unique group of scholars, activists, and artists-explore that unrest and its challenge to the present authoritarian regime's legitimacy and stability. From political theory to music, and from human rights law to social media, their contributions reveal the tenacious and continually evolving forces that are at work resisting the status quo.
