Chapter 1 “Inception (1962–1979)” outlines the developments that led to RJ’s establishment as a popular movement and its grassroots mobilization to the provinces and villages. This chapter takes us back to the transformative years before and after the fall of the shah. Beginning in 1962, the shah’s White Revolution and Land Reform narrowed the urban-rural divide and unleashed and accelerated other structural forces of modernization that contributed to the revolution as well as RJ’s subsequent establishment and mobilization. Through bricolage and boundary activation, RJ members and IRP officials appropriated the shah’s Literacy, Health, and Extension Corps (Sipah-i Danish, Bihdasht va Tarvij), and attempted to validate the IRI and differentiate RJ by framing its mission as repairing the alleged destruction that the shah had caused the provinces and villages.
