After Words: Hooman Majd, "The Ayatollah's Democracy," hosted by Hamid Dabashi

About the Program

The author of "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ," argues in his latest book that despite the popular uprising that followed the Iranian elections of 2009, there are many influential, liberal leaders who still believe in the Islamic Republic and a particular brand of Islamic democracy. He discusses this brand with Columbia University's Iranian Studies Professor Hamid Dabashi.
