Softcover. NY, Columbia University Press, 1st pbk., 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 232 pages, b&w illustrations. Focusing on the immediate pre-revolutionary period and the first decade of the Islamic Republic, Bayat discusses the economic and political strategies of 'ordinary'[Iranian] people, mainly in Tehran.... He demonstrates that, for these people at least, the populist revolution did not bring about the changes that they needed or wanted. Clean copy.
