Press blurb:



An inside look at what it means to be pro-regime in Iran, and the debates
around the future of the Islamic Republic.


More than half of Iran's citizens were not alive at the time of the 1979
Revolution. Now entering its fifth decade in power, the Iranian regime
faces the paradox of any successful revolution: how to transmit the
commitments of its political project to the next generation. New media
ventures supported by the Islamic Republic attempt to win the hearts and
minds of younger Iranians. Yet members of this new generation—whether
dissidents or fundamentalists—are increasingly skeptical of these efforts.


Iran Reframed offers unprecedented access to those who wield power in Iran
as they debate and define the future of the Republic. Over ten years,
Narges Bajoghli met with men in Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Ansar
Hezbollah, and Basij paramilitary organizations to investigate how their
media producers developed strategies to court Iranian youth. Readers come
to know these men—what the regime means to them and their anxieties about
the future of their revolutionary project. Contestation over how to define
the regime underlies all their efforts to communicate with the public. This
book offers a multilayered story about what it means to be pro-regime in
the Islamic Republic, challenging everything we think we know about Iran
and revolution.
