This study focuses on historical moments neglected by conventional historiography, particularly bread riots during the Naseri era (1227–1274 AH/1848–1896 CE), triggered by economic crises like famine and bread shortages. Orientalist narratives often dismiss these uprisings as mere hunger-driven outbursts with negligible historical impact. However, their persistence, diverse social coalitions, and significant socio-political consequences necessitate re-examination. This research investigates: the causes of these riots, the social groups involved, and their broader outcomes. Drawing on E.P. Thompson’s moral economy and Edmund Burke’s social history frameworks, we analyze concepts such as justice-seeking, the clergy’s pivotal role, the participation of diverse social strata, and the resultant political and social transformations. Employing a historical-documentary method, findings indicate that the riots were driven by famine, rulers’ mismanagement, Islamic cultural values, and justice-oriented traditions. Key outcomes include organized uprisings through alliances among women, lutis, clergy, and lower classes, the establishment of popular councils and associations, shifts in local governance, and the emergence of heightened political consciousness. These protests laid critical groundwork for the modern political subject, challenging simplistic interpretations and highlighting their role in shaping Iran’s socio-political evolution.
