Persona and the Modern Republican
Ronald Reagan's iconic, 1984 advertisement, "Morning in America," has served as an ideological pole star for Republican identity for the past four decades. More recently, the political action committee, The Lincoln Project, a group of ex-Republicans, produced a number of ads highly critical of President Donald Trump's administration. One specific ad, "Mourning in America," uses the form of the original 1984 ad to communicate a set of radically di…

Nima Naghibi’s book explores Iranian diaspora and life-writing studies in ways that illuminate both. The introduction surveys critical discourse on Iranian diasporic writing, deftly identifying its gaps.

But Naghibi also cautions against the limit…

The article mixes this method with his…

Crossing Tehran Avenue
The online city magazine TehranAvenue.com (TA) occupies the transnational crossroad of digital and urban space. It thus provides an important case study of how urban studies, postcolonial theory and critical cyber studies can be combined fruitfully to explain the potentialities and limits of digital and social networks in transnational Middle Eastern contexts. The article explores metaphors of the Internet as city, theories of transnational urban…
Introduction
s we enter the fourth decade of Iran’s revolution and continue to study the sweep-ing changes that such a historic event brought to that nation, it is also fitting that we identify and study the ways that those Iranians who left their homeland in the period between 1979 and 1988 (the establishment of the Islamic Republic and the end of the Iran-Iraq war) and immigrated to other locations have manifest their own unique experience of what we identi…

In recent years, a number of Iranian American women have written and published memoirs of a return to Iran. One motif that these memoirs share is their concern with language as a key element of cultural identity. The article examines these memoirs as negotiations of identity through language.
