Keddie attended City and Country School and Horace-Mann Lincoln High School in Manhattan. She attended Radcliffe College, receiving a BA in Modern European History and Literature in 1951 (Radcliffe College functioned as a female coordinate institution for the all-male Harvard College.

Keddie then received her MA in Modern European History from Stanford University in 1951, writing a thesis on Giambattista Vico's philosophy of history. She received her PhD in History (Modern European, especially Middle Eastern, with lesser emphasis on East and South Asia) from the University of California, Berkeley, with a dissertation titled, "The Impact of the West on Modern Iranian Social History." After completing her doctorate, Keddie held the following positions: adjunct professor at the University of Arizona (1957); instructor and then assistant professor at Scripps College (1957-1961); and visiting professor (1961), assistant professor (1963), and then associate and full professor at UCLA in the Department of History, retiring in 1993 as Professor Emeritus. Keddie taught Middle Eastern and Iranian history at UCLA, as well as courses on comparative revolution, comparative religious politics, and non-written sources and methodology in history research. Her research focused on Iran, Islam, Middle Eastern women, and Sayyid Jamal al-Din al-Afghani. Afghani was a political activist and Islamic ideologist during the late 19th century. Nikki R.

  • Keddie, Nikki R
    Iran and the Muslim World: Resistance and Revolution, by Nikki R. Keddie. New York: New York University Press, 1995. 303 pp. $45.00 cloth. ISBN: 0-8147-4663-2. Mehrzad Boroujerdi Syracuse University In this book, Nikki Keddie, a leading authority on the Middle East, offers fifteen thought-provoking essays (six of which have never been published before) on the history of revolutionary praxis in Iran and the particular role played by Islam in fomenting political uprisings in the Muslim world. The book begins with an impressive essay on whether revolutions can be predicted. By resorting to chaos theory, Keddie proclaims rather unequivocally that most revolutions are intrinsically unpredictable (p. 4). Taking issue with such theorists of revolution as Jack Goldstone, she maintains that the unpredictability inherent in revolutions is due largely to the element of chance, the concurrence of causes, and the myriad decisions made by pivotal players that can determine the eventual outcome. As an example, the author points to the Iranian revolution of 1979 where almost no one among the community of “experts” was able to forecast the timing, contour, ideology, or outcome of this monumental event. Keddie then makes the reader reflect on this irony by reminding us of the fact that Iran has had more modern revolutions than any other Muslim country and, with only a few exceptions, more than any country in the “Third World.” The volley of counter-intuitive insights that Keddie provides in the rest of the book are equally enticing. She first expresses doubts on the validity of the prevailing assumption that, in the Muslim world, religion and politics are inextricably intertwined by maintaining that there is little which is inherently political in early Islam.

Students will learn about Iran’s cultural ambiance and heritage, ethnic/class/religious cleavages, foreign policy, the causes and consequences of the 1979 revolution, and the nature of the post-revolutionary political system through reading some of the most seminal scholarly essays on these subjects. COURSE PHILOSOPHY: A Chinese proverb says that “teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.” A Western sage (Karl Jaspers) supplemented this maxim by maintaining that “university life is no less dependent on students than on professors. The best professors flounder helplessly at a school where the student body is unfit. Hence, it is all up to the young people who are supposedly entitled to study. They must show themselves worthy of this privilege to the best of their ability.” This course has been organized on the premise that you are worthy of this privilege and that the professor only opens the door. The success of this course depends entirely on your continued and sustained participation.

  • Nikki R Keddie Biography and CV Fields of Interest: Near Eastern
    Nikki R Keddie Biography and CV Fields of interest: Near Eastern history, especially Iran; Social history; Women’s History; Comparative and World History; Photography I was born in Brooklyn, 1930, and attended the City and Country School and Horace­Mann Lincoln High School in Manhattan before going to Radcliffe College, (Magna cum laude, Modern European History and Literature, elected to Phi Beta Kappa in junior year). My thesis was on the Italian Socialist Party. Then I went to Stanford for a Modern European History M.A., with a thesis on the philosophy of history of Giambattista Vico. Then to U.C. Berkeley for my Ph.D., working in European and especially Middle Eastern History, with a dissertation, "The Impact of the West on Modern Iranian Social History." East and South Asia were other fields. After a year's research job on South Asia, and a general secondary credential, I became an instructor at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and then instructor, then assistant professor, at Scripps College in Claremont, CA, with my main teaching in their three­year Western Civilization program. In 1961 I became visiting assistant professor at UCLA, assistant professor in 1963 and then associate and full professor. At UCLA I have taught mainly Middle Eastern and Iranian history, and also courses on comparative revolution, comparative religious politics, and non­written sources and methodology in History teaching and research (covering photography, audio and videotaping, oral history and interviewing and some of the uses of the audiovisual potential of computers). I have several lifetime awards: 1994 elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 2001 mentoring award of Middle East Studies Association, which also made me an honorary fellow in 2003.
