Description and Table of Contents
Description
This biography looks at Ali Shari'ati's life and thought in the context of the complex, contradictory cultural, social and political conditions of Iranian society that shaped him. Covering his upbringing in provincial Mashhad, his life as a student in Paris in the early 1960s, his subsequent development as a religious and revolutionary thinker at odds with both the Pahlavi regime adn the Shi'i clerical establishment and his death in exile at the age of 44, this work unravels much of the enigma that surrounds this figure. It also provides an understanding of a man whose role in the Iranian revolution was significant as that of Khomeini himself, and explores a current of political Islam that has influenced movements throughout the Middle East.
