This book.. is a window into the new Iran in the making, which its activists, artists, and citizens demand.
The “Women, Life, Freedom” protests that took place in Iran in 2022-2023 ignited the flames of anger. Today, these flames still burn, as Iranians across the country take to the streets demanding social and economic justice, and the right to a dignified life.In his book What the Iranians Want, Arash Azizi shows us how Iranians have fueled the flame of resistance since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979. Since the mass strikes in Kurdistan, Iranians have for decades risked their lives to demand a better future, one that ends extreme poverty, achieves political freedom, and promotes social equality.
