Contents:

Diasporic Iranian visual literature in the form of graphic narratives -- Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis -- Parsua Bashi's Nylon road -- Diasporic Iranian visual literature manifested in the art of Shirin Neshat : photo-poetry and poetic film -- Shirin Neshat's political(ized) aesthetics -- Neshat moving on to movies.

Summary: The manuscript is a work of cultural studies, arguing that "art"--Creative work in various forms--can serve to help transcend political binaries and foster identification of the political/ethnic "other." Specifically, it examines the work of Iranian women visual artists and writers living in the diaspora, including well-known figures like Marjane Satrapi and Shirin Neshat, and up-and-comers such as Amir Soltani and Parsua Bashi. Ebrahimi explores both classic and hybrid art forms, including graphic novels and photo-poetry, to advocate for the importance of aesthetics to inform and influence a global community.
