54:48Now PlayingSecor's first book starts with Iran’s 1979 revolution, and shows how the upheaval, instead of leading to an entrenched theocracy, has in fact allowed subsequent generations to develop many different visions of their country. These “children” of the 1979 revolutionaries include not just religious thinkers, but political figures, activists, journalists, and poets, and if the story Secor tells is one of violent repression, it’s equally one of resistance and resilience.
