Islam and Democracy in Iran: Eshkevari and the Quest for Reform

Hasan Yousefi Eshkevari is a former revolutionary and clerical reformer who became one of the Islamic Republic' s most outspoken critics. His ideas of "Islamic democratic government" have attracted considerable attention in Iran and elsewhere. In presenting a selection of Eshkevari' s writings, this book reveals a trajectory of dissent common to all Islamic nations today and makes a highly original contribution to our understanding of the difficult social and political issues confronting the Muslim world.
