Item Culture shock, trauma, exile, and nostalgia in Iranian-American literature(2011-05) Reza, Carmen Amrina; Ghanoonparvar, M. R. (Mohammad R.); Shirazi, FaeghehThis thesis is concerned with the concepts of exile, trauma, and nostalgia and how they all come together to create a sense of culture shock that the subjects of my thesis encountered. Azar Nafisi, Nahid Rachlin, Tara Bahrampour, and Azadeh Moaveni, are all Iranian-American authors, and despite their different life experiences and ages, they all encountered culture shock as it related to male-female relations, Iranian gender norms and issues of sex and sexuality and treatments and views of the female body as it relates to reproduction.
