Always an Immigrant: A Cultural Memoir - Paperback
Description
by Mohammad Yadegari (Author), Priscilla Yadegari (With)
Iraq to Iran to America...
This collection of personal stories engages, entertains, and educates about cultural norms and mores of the 1940s, 1950s, and the beginning of the 1960s in the Middle East when Mohammad Yadegari was growing up there.
Serious, yet often humorous, the stories describe the truths behind such topics as temporary marriage, veiling and seclusion of women, ceremonial politeness, racism, and bigotry. A great storyteller, Dr. Yadegari regales his readers with tales of his life experiences that prepared him for his immigrant experience when he arrived in New York in 1964.
At the same time, the book debunks some of the misconceptions that are common in both the Middle East and the United States.
