ajiss-1249	Shafi, Sophia Rose	The Ayatollah Begs to Differ: The Paradox of Modern Iran by Hooman Majd (New York, Doubleday, 2008. hbk. 272 pages)	2011.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	953	27	42	The book’s revelations about Iranian politics are illuminating, especially for those unfamiliar with the Islamic Republic’s constitution and governmental organization, but it is Majd’s revelations about Persian society that are most illuminating. Still, the fact that the author is related to former President Khatami allows for unprecedented access to the inner workings of Iranian politics as well as a deep understanding of the status of Shiʻa clergy in Iranian society.	cache/ajiss-1249.pdf	txt/ajiss-1249.txt
