Summary
“My heart is with our village people, and as I think of their future I believe I see a magnificent vista lying ahead.” Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Mission For My Country (1960) In the twenty years leading up to Islamic Revolution, the landscape of Iran underwent significant change. This landscape—a reference to the physical terrain as well as a metaphor for the composition of society—had gradually emerged as a result of several thousand years of historical development and agricultural labor. In the span of two decades, however, it was to serve as the subject of a major land reform plan conceived by Mohammad Reza Shah, the second and last potentate of the Pahlavi dynasty. His plan, part of the aptly titled White Revolution, remains enigmatic and important within the larger context of Iranian political history.
