A visual survey of the public myths and collective symbols used in the making of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the subsequent war with Iraq. The book traces a remarkable period of history in which the power of words and images successfully challenged the military might of an established state, setting forth an avalanche of public sentiment that led to revolution. The authors uncover the visual and iconographic history of the Islamic revolution of Iran, from the fiery words of Ayatollah Khomeini to revolutionary posters, graffiti, slogans, murals, posters and banners - words and images that unified much of the nation. The book surveys a wealth of primary sources produced by the various active organs of the Islamic Revolution. The authors examine the popular beliefs and rituals disseminated on such objects as stamps, textbooks, banknotes and even chewing gum wrappers, objects that deeply influenced the national psyche, stirring people into a revolutionary trance through all aspects of daily life.
