Iran Event: "The Green Movement and the Struggle for Iran's Future"

Photo: MunzzThis evening, I will be joining a panel in London for the UK book launch of The People Reloaded: The Green Movement and the Struggle for Iran's Future. Other speakers, all of whom contributed to the book, include scholars Ziba Mir-Hosseini, Ali Alizadeh, and Nader Hashemi and New York Times columnist Roger Cohen.

For me, the book is a record --- enthusiastic, tragic, poignant, hopeful, concerned --- of the year after the disputed 2009 Presidential election. However, and perhaps more importantly, it is a reminder that the issues, and the movement to act upon it, are still alive today.

The event will be at 6 p.m. at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
