Amanat, Abbas. Resurrection
and Renewal: The Making of the Babi Movement in Iran, 1844-1850. Ithaca,

University Press, 1989. An
important study based on Amanat's 1980 [?] doctoral dissertation [item XX],
this is a crucial demythologizing study by a modern Iranian historian working
in the West. Many of Amanat's historical facts are suspect, but his overall
interpretation of the socio-political significance of the movement is broadly
sound. (See also MacEoin [review])
