Acknowledgments
Research on this book was made possible by the senior coordinators of the Islam and Social Change project at the University of Chicago: Professors Leonard Binder of the Department of Political Science and Fazlur Rahman of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I would like to thank them for the opportunity to investigate the problem of religion and social change. I gratefully acknowledge, too, the financial support of the Ford Foundation in carrying out this project.
While in Iran, I received the cooperation of a number of persons who were willing to provide access to written materials, and although it is not possible to list them all here, I would specifically like to mention Mr. Hasan Mahjub*, research specialist on religious affairs of the Senate Library; Mr. Iraj Afshar*, Director of the Library of Tehran University; and Dr. 'Abd al-Husayn Ha'iri*, Director of the Majlis Library.
I also am grateful for the encouragement, cooperation and support of individual academics, members of the clergy, friends and relatives. I hope that I have done justice to their counsel and wisdom and spared them any embarrassment for whatever faults this book may contain. These, of course, I must and do assume as my own responsibility.
My gratitude to Professor Michael M. J. Fischer of the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University is due to his having read earlier drafts of the manuscript with a critical eye and for his generous willingness to make suggestions of conceptual and factual nature. In addition, our informal discussions never failed to suggest to me new insights into the problematic of religious structure, organization, culture and ideology in the context of the political process. I would like to express my thanks, additionally, to four anonymous reviewers of this monograph, a number of whose suggestons has been incorporated into the final draft. Mr. Manoochehr Mohammadi, Ph. D. candidate in the Department of Government and International Studies at the University of South Carolina graciously made available to me copies of tracts, manifestos and other information disseminated by the clergy and their supporters in the 1978-1979 period. And Professor Abdulaziz Sachedina of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia provided inestimable help in the transliteration of Arabic and Persian words and phrases.
