| Summary/Abstract |
In multilingual Iran, Persian continues to be perceived as the official language, while other languages are regarded as local. The duality is not confined to linguistic realms, and extends into the purview of culture. Terms such as ‘local music’, ‘local dance’ or ‘local dialects’ and, with the same token, ‘official language’ and ‘official religion’, for example, refer to much wider and deeper social relations or cultural positions. They are the sources of the production and perpetuation of meanings, to borrow from Bourdieu, which safeguard the interest of a social group or class, and determine the performance of the producers of knowledge, for example writers, without their being directly part of the dominant group.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the roots and the consequences of the 1979 Iranian Revolution with a focus on one of Iran’s constituent peoples, the Kurds. It provides historical perspectives on a specific people in relation to the Revolution and aims to enhance historical awareness on the Revolution and contribute to debates around it. It is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with the roots of the Revolution by presenting an overview of social change and transformation during the preceding decades to create a historical foundation, which studies on the Kurds in Iran have usually lacked. The second part deals with the consequences of the Revolution, analysing the autonomy movement, the characteristics of which are closely linked to social change of the preceding decades. Despite the availability of sources on the period, previous scholarship has been devoid of sufficient historical analysis on both the background to, and events which took place during, the Revolution. This article addresses that gap by presenting an analysis of that historical process.
