Shannon provides readers with a reminder of a brief and congenial phase of the relationship between the United States and Iran. In Losing Hearts and Minds, Shannon tells the story of an influx of Iranian students to American college campuses between 1950 and 1979 that globalized U.S. institutions of higher education and produced alliances between Iranian youths and progressive Americans. Losing Hearts and Minds is a narrative rife with historical ironies. Because of its superpower competition with the USSR, the U.S. government worked with nongovernmental organizations to create the means for Iranians to train and study in the United States. The stated goal of this initiative was to establish a cultural foundation for the official relationship and to provide Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi with educated elites to administer an ambitious program of socioeconomic development. Despite these goals, Shannon locates the incubation of at least one possible version of the Iranian Revolution on American college campuses, which provided a space for a large and vocal community of dissident Iranian students to organize against the Pahlavi regime and earn the support of empathetic Americans. Together they rejected the Shah's authoritarian model of development and called for civil and political rights in Iran, giving unwitting support to the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 606 $aIranian students$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducational exchanges$zIran$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducational exchanges$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zIran 607 $aIran$xRelations$zUnited States 615 0$aIranian students$xHistory 615 0$aEducational exchanges$xHistory 615 0$aEducational exchanges$xHistory 676 $a371.8299155073 700 $aShannon$b Matthew K.$f1983-$01631012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824352303321 996 $aLosing hearts and minds$93969592 997 $aUNINA
