An exploration of the link between politics of migration, prospects of integration, and ethnic identity among Iranian immigrants and their descendants in the United States, spanning from the 1970s to the present day.
[Praise for the first edition] In this large-scale, comprehensive, and extended time study of Iranian immigrants in Texas, author Mohsen Mobasher used political history between the two countries; four years of participant-observation from 1993 to 1995 and from 2003 to 2005 in Houston, Dallas, and Austin; surveys; open-ended interviews; census materials; printed materials; and information about various Iranian organizations and groups. . . .Throughout the text, the author intersperses statistics with informant quotes and individual life stories. * American Anthropologist *
This new edition will serve as a rich source of data on the Iranian American community which could be used by sociologists, cultural historians, and the ever-increasing number of scholars working on Iranian diaspora today. -- Nasrin Rahimieh, author of Iranian Culture: Representation and Identity
