Iran in Crisis: Seven Essays on the Obstacles to Freedom

Book •
Iran in Crisis: Seven Essays on the Obstacles to Freedom gathers essays that analyze the structural, political, and social factors obstructing democratic and emancipatory change in Iran.

Edited or introduced by Manijeh Moradian and Ida Nikou, the dossier brings together diverse perspectives—feminist, anti-capitalist, and anti-authoritarian—on how to respond to the crisis of governance and rights in Iran.

Contributors critique both the Islamic Republic and external imperial interventions, arguing for grassroots strategies that protect popular aspirations without surrendering them to foreign powers.

The collection emphasizes building collective power from below, centering gender justice, labor struggles, and anti-authoritarian organizing as pathways to a more just future.

It is aimed at activists, scholars, and readers seeking alternatives to both authoritarianism and imperialism.
