<p class="MsoNormal">An inside look at what it means to be pro-regime in Iran,
and the debates around the future of the Islamic Republic.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p></div></div></div></div>
