About this episode
How does a nationwide revolution affect the individual lives of its citizens? In the midst of the latest conflict in Iran, journalists Bozorgmehr Sharafedin and Yeganeh Torbati set out to answer this question by charting Iran’s history since its 1979 revolution. The product is Stolen Revolution, a collection of accounts from six Iranians — each with their own perspective on Iran and its past, present, and future. In today’s episode, Torbati joins NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly to discuss the book, and how joy survives in the shadow of statewide oppression.
