Sufi movements in Iran:
MEMO speaks to Seema Golestaneh who is an assistant professor at Cornell University in the department of Near East Studies.
We discuss Dr Golestaneh's new book 'Unknowing and the Everyday: Sufism and Knowledge in Iran' which looks at the social and material life of gnosis (ma'arifat) for disparate Sufi communities in Iran. We also discuss the situation of Sufis in Iran today and the politics around different movements.
