here."—Scott Armstrong, Washington Post Book World
Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for
2005

"Shifting her historical focus from the roots of the Iranian
revolution to its consequences, Nikki Keddie has expanded her
original classic to include a sharply probing and perceptive guide
to more than two decades of tumultuous developments in the Islamic
Republic of Iran."—Gary Sick
"Roots of Revolution remains a classic in the field of Middle East
Studies. The new chapters provide up-to-date and
comprehensive information on all aspects of post-revolutionary
Iran, from politics and economics, to gender, human rights, rights
of minorities, and relations with the United States. A must read
for anyone interested in Iran's current struggle for
democracy!"—Janet Afary, Author of The Iranian Constitutional
Revolution: Grassroots Democracy, Social Democracy, and the Origins
of Feminism
"I regularly use Modern Iran as a textbook in both introductory and
advanced seminar classes. It is written in an engaging style and
brings Iranian history into focus—particularly providing the
necessary background to understand current events."—Monica M.
Ringer, Amherst College
"Nikki Keddie's classic work, in this updated and expanded version
that looks into both roots and results of revolution, is one of the
most perceptive, impartial, and concise analyses of Iran's past and
present."—Nayereh Tohidi, California State University
"For three decades, Nikki Keddie has been one of the most
perceptive, sensitive and insightful analysts of Iran. Writing
about a region where instant experts are the norm, Keddie's work
has always been profoundly important and has had a major impact on
the way Iranians think about themselves."—Ahmed Rashid
