Fada'i Guerrilla Praxis in Iran, 1970 - 1979

The Iranian Peoples Fadai Guerrillas have received little dedicated scholarly investigation in the shadow of the Iranian Revolution. This unique collection combines scholarly analysis of the movement, with first-hand accounts from those within the movement, in order to shed light on the experiences, organisation and history of this group during the 1970s. The volume is partly composed of eyewitness accounts from veteran Fadai members on themes such as everyday life in safehouses, the activities of the small but active Fadai representation abroad, the experience of Fadai men and women who were subject to long imprisonment in the 1970s or perspectives on military organisation. Alongside these accounts are scholarly investigations into the various aspects in the history of the organisation, which cover elements such as its ideological foundations and political orientation, the importance of the Iranian labour movement in Fadai thought and praxis and the impact of guerrilla activism in the arts.
