Following the 1979 revolution, the Iranian government set out to Islamize society. Muslim piety had to be visible, in personal appearance and in action. Iranians were told to pray, fast, and attend mosques to be true Muslims. The revolution turned questions of what it means to be a true Muslim into a matter of public debate, taken up widely outside the exclusive realm of male clerics and intellectuals. Say What Your Longing Heart Desires offers an elegant ethnography of these debates among a group of educated, middle-class women whose voices are often muted in studies of Islam. Niloofar Haeri follows them in their daily lives as they engage with the classical poetry of Rumi, Hafez, and Saadi, illuminating a long-standing mutual inspiration between prayer and poetry. She recounts how different forms of prayer may transform into dialogues with God, and, in turn, Haeri illuminates the ways in which believers draw on prayer and ritual acts as the emotional and intellectual material through which they think, deliberate, and debate.

A hidden chapter of revolutionary history—Protest Art of Iran unveils the bold, leftist posters silenced by the Islamic Republic and nearly lost to time.Protest Art of Iran presents, for the first time, the little-known but visually striking poster art created by leftist students and professors at the Fine Arts Faculty of Tehran University during the 1978–1979 Iranian Revolution. In stark contrast to the Islamic iconography that later dominated the visual landscape of revolutionary Iran, these posters—deeply influenced by international leftist movements, including the Russian avant-garde and May ’68 in Paris—express urgent dissent against the Shah’s regime and reflect the broader ideological diversity of the revolution’s early days.Suppressed after the revolution and long hidden from public view, this body of work is brought to light through high-quality reproductions, exclusive commentary from founding members of the university workshop, and original essays that place the art in its historical, political, and global context.At once a powerful visual archive and a corrective to dominant narratives, Protest Art of Iran is essential reading for scholars of Middle Eastern history, art history, political movements, and anyone interested in the intersections of radical art and revolutionary politics.
